Chimney Evaluations/Inspections



The Inspection checks...

bullet Possible fire hazards from improper clearances to combustibles
bullet Firebox, smoke chamber & chimney flue are inspected for gaps or cracks that could be a potential fire hazard
bullet Condition of log lighter, fire screen, damper, ash dump plate & ash clean-out door
bullet External chimney is checked for cracks in bricks, mortar, chimney flue & chimney crown
bullet Gas logs are checked with Combustible Gas Detector to assure that poisonous gases are venting up the chimney & if damper lock is installed
bullet We offer Chimney Video Inspections for a more comprehensive chimney evaluation

 

Get To Know Your Chimney

 

Masonry Chimney

Prefab Chimney

 
 
Note:

The visual inspection performed during a chimney evaluation & sweeping may not be enough to detect thin cracks in the masonry chimney's flue lining, or disconnected pipes in the prefab chimney's flue. 

Cracks are a major potential hazard since they can expand with high temperatures & no longer insulate the chimney from transferring heat & gases to combustibles.

Consider having a video inspection performed on the chimney if there is any question--especially if you have had a chimney fire. 

Visit our  Chimney Video Inspection Page for more information.
