Whether you use your fireplace regularly or not the national safety standard is to have your chimney swept and inspected yearly.

This standard takes into account the fact that even if you don't use your chimney often, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use.

Chimney Inspections


We offer three different levels of inspections for chimneys:

Level 1. This inspection encompasses all easily accessible areas. No tools will be used to gain access to the inspected areas. A level one inspection should be used only on chimneys that are not suspected to have any damage.

Level 2. A level two inspection is more extensive. Whenever a homeowner changes the home’s heating system, sells their home, or suspects some kind of malfunction or damage, a level two inspection should be performed. We will do a video scan of the chimney to look for any damage or deterioration.

Level 3. The level three inspection is the most thorough. We may need to gain access to hidden or hard to reach areas. This could include cutting drywall or making alterations. Before allowing us to perform a level three inspection, we should discuss this. We will be able to explain the reason for this inspection and how best to approach it, if it becomes necessary.

3 Reasons to Get a Chimney Cap

PCR

Fireplaces and wood stoves are designed to safely contain wood-fuel fires, while providing heat for a home. The chimneys that serve them have the job of expelling the by-products of combustion – the substances produced when wood burns. These include smoke, water vapor, gases, unburned wood particles, hydrocarbon, tar fog and assorted minerals.

As these substances exit the fireplace or wood stove, and flow up into the relatively cooler chimney, condensation occurs. The resulting residue that sticks to the inner walls of the chimney is called creosote.

Smoke Chamber Parging

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), defective smoke chambers are the third leading cause of chimney related house fires. For the safety and efficiency of your fireplace, it is important that any gaps, cracks, or holes in the smoke chamber be sealed and the brick corbelling be hand parged smooth.

Maintaining proper burning practices is key to reducing the risk of chimney fires. Use seasoned wood to minimize the accumulation of creosote, a flammable substance that can build up in the chimney. Additionally, avoid overloading the fireplace with excessive amounts of wood, as this can contribute to creosote formation. Regular chimney inspections are vital for identifying and addressing potential fire hazards. By adhering to these practices and scheduling routine inspections, you can significantly enhance the safety and performance of your chimney.
