What Happens during a Chimney Inspection?
Basic annual chimney inspections are fairly simple procedures – for us, not for a novice with little or no chimney experience. With a basic inspection, we closely examine all visible areas of your chimney structure and components. We’re looking for signs of damage that if ignored could turn into serious safety or performance risks.
Common chimney issues uncovered during a basic inspection often include:
Small cracks beginning in the exterior chimney bricks that can lead to structural compromise
Signs of decay within the chimney’s mortar joints that can eventually cause your chimney to lean or collapse
Ill-fitted or rusted chimney flashing that blocks the gap between the roof and your chimney
Damaged chimney cap that allows rain and possibly small animals to enter your flue
Cracks in the concrete chimney crown, which protects the interior chimney and the masonry below
Every chimney is unique, and no two show the exact same early damage signs.
