Spark Arrestor Service in Lighthouse Point, FL — scope, conditions, and cost

A spark arrestor in Lighthouse Point is the mesh screen on the flue that stops embers from landing on the roof — code-required and quietly important on tile and shake roofs. Around Lighthouse Point the right approach depends on your build and how close you sit to the water — which is why we look first.
What a Lighthouse Point spark arrestor service actually includes
Here is what we actually do on a Lighthouse Point spark arrestor service. The arrestor is the mesh built into the cap. We replace screens that have rusted or torn, and on uncapped flues we install a cap with an integral arrestor sized to the flue — meeting code and keeping wildlife out at the same time. This close to Hillsboro Inlet, just east of the city, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. On older city chimneys the original detailing matters, so we match materials rather than slapping on whatever is generic and quick.
