About Us

Orlando Chimney Exp was founded on a straightforward conviction: homeowners in Orlando deserve a chimney and dryer vent service that’s genuinely local — staffed by people who know the area, know the housing, and show up fast because they’re actually nearby.

We’ve seen what happens when homeowners in this area call national companies or out-of-area contractors.

Our technicians have worked across Orlando’s diverse range of residential properties — older homes with original masonry chimneys, mid-century builds with a mix of original and retrofitted systems, and newer construction with modern appliance configurations. That breadth of hands-on local experience means when we assess your chimney, we’re drawing on direct knowledge of the specific conditions and common failure modes your type of property tends to present.

Our mission is to be the chimney and dryer vent service company that Orlando homeowners call without hesitation — because they know we’re nearby, we’re knowledgeable, and we’ll handle the job properly.

Twin Wall Flue Installation

Twin wall flue systems — insulated double-skin flue pipes designed to maintain flue gas temperature while keeping the outer surface cool — are the preferred venting solution for a wide range of modern appliances, including wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel burners, and high-efficiency gas appliances. Their insulated construction maintains the thermal performance needed for strong, consistent draft, while the cool outer skin allows installation with reduced clearances to combustible materials — making them practical in a variety of internal and external configurations. At Orlando Chimney Exp, our twin wall flue installation service covers the full scope of the project from initial assessment through to final commissioning. We begin by evaluating the appliance's venting requirements, the proposed routing of the flue system, the structural elements the flue will pass through or alongside, and the termination point at the roof or external wall. This assessment determines the correct flue diameter, the appropriate grade of system for the fuel type and appliance output, and the specific fittings and supports required for a secure, code-compliant installation. Installation follows manufacturer specifications precisely and complies with current NFPA standards and Florida building code requirements. Every joint is assembled correctly, every support bracket is secured appropriately, and every penetration through ceilings, walls, or roof structures is properly fire-stopped and flashed. Before we consider the job finished, we commission the system with a full draft and operational test. Our local knowledge means we understand the specific installation conditions common in Orlando properties — and we account for them from the start. On-site within one hour.

Chimney Animal Guard Installation

An unprotected chimney opening is an open invitation to birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife seeking shelter — and once an animal establishes a nest in a chimney flue, the consequences range from blocked airflow and smoke problems to the distressing situation of animals trapped in the flue itself. In Florida, where wildlife activity is year-round and species are varied, an unguarded chimney is a recurring vulnerability, not a seasonal one. A properly specified and correctly installed chimney animal guard — also called a chimney cap with integrated guard mesh — seals the flue opening against animal entry while maintaining the airflow that the chimney needs to function. The right guard also provides weather protection, keeping rain out of the flue and reducing moisture intrusion at the top of the chimney structure. Choosing the wrong product, however — one that's incorrectly sized, poorly constructed, or fitted without proper attention to the flue dimensions — either fails to exclude animals reliably or restricts airflow in ways that affect draft performance. Our animal guard installation service begins with an assessment of the chimney's termination configuration, flue dimensions, and any existing evidence of previous animal activity. We select a guard that fits correctly, allows adequate airflow for the specific flue diameter, and is constructed from materials that will withstand Florida's outdoor conditions without rapid corrosion or degradation. We fit it securely to the chimney structure, confirm the installation is stable, and check that draft performance is unaffected. If clearing is required before fitting — because a previous animal entry has left nesting material in the flue — we can combine that with the guard installation in the same visit. One-hour attendance.

Chimney Smoke Problem Diagnosis

Smoke entering the living space from a fireplace or chimney is one of the most alarming and persistently misdiagnosed chimney issues homeowners encounter. The instinct is to assume the chimney is blocked — but while blockage is one cause, it's far from the only one. Smoke problems can originate from negative air pressure in the home pulling air down the flue, from an incorrectly sized flue for the connected appliance, from a chimney that's too short relative to the roofline or nearby obstructions, from a cold flue that hasn't warmed sufficiently to establish draft, or from a damaged or partially closed damper restricting the throat opening. Applying the wrong remedy to a smoke problem — clearing a flue that isn't actually blocked, for instance, when the real issue is negative pressure — produces no improvement and wastes time and money. Effective resolution starts with accurate diagnosis, and accurate diagnosis requires a systematic, methodical assessment of the full chimney system and its operating conditions. Our chimney smoke problem diagnosis service works through the possible causes methodically, testing draft conditions, assessing flue dimensions against appliance output, checking damper operation, evaluating the chimney's height relative to the roof and surrounding obstructions, and reviewing the home's ventilation dynamics where pressure-related causes are suspected. We identify the specific cause — or combination of causes — and explain it to you clearly before recommending any corrective action. The solution we recommend is the one that addresses the actual problem, not a generic intervention. Local knowledge matters here too — we're familiar with the ventilation characteristics common in Orlando homes and factor them into every diagnosis. On-site within one hour.

Freqently Asked Questions

Q: How quickly can you get to me in Orlando?

A: Within one hour of your call. We’re based at 111 S Orange Ave, right in the city — so our one-hour attendance window is a genuine, consistent commitment, not an occasional best-case scenario.

A: Several things — a blocked flue is the obvious one, but smoke problems often stem from negative air pressure pulling air down the chimney, a flue that’s undersized for the appliance, insufficient chimney height, a faulty or partially closed damper, or a cold flue that hasn’t established draft. We diagnose the specific cause before recommending any fix, because the wrong solution won’t resolve the problem.

 A: It depends on the appliance and installation configuration. Twin wall systems are typically required where reduced clearances to combustibles are needed, and they’re the standard choice for most modern stoves and high-efficiency appliances. We assess your specific setup and advise on the appropriate system before any work is agreed.

A: An unprotected flue opening is an attractive nesting spot for birds, squirrels, and other wildlife — particularly in Florida where wildlife is active year-round. A properly fitted animal guard eliminates the entry point permanently. We size and fit the right guard for your flue to keep wildlife out without restricting the draft your chimney needs.

A: Once a year as a minimum. Annual inspections catch gradual deterioration, creosote accumulation, and early-stage structural issues before they become serious. If you’ve had a chimney fire, changed appliances, or bought a new property, schedule an inspection immediately regardless of when the last one was done.

A: Yes. Our team is based here, works here, and knows this city’s housing and chimney conditions directly. That’s what makes our one-hour attendance window realistic and our assessments more accurate than a generalist operating from further afield.

A: We assess the appliance’s requirements, plan the routing, select the correct diameter and grade of system, and install it to manufacturer specifications and current code requirements — including all fire-stopping and flashing at penetrations. We test and commission the system fully before completing the job.

A: Yes — we’re on-site within the hour. Our smoke diagnosis service is thorough but efficient, and in most cases we can identify the cause and discuss remedial options on the same visit.
