National Chimney Cleaners of Stamford has been helping homeowners keep their chimneys safe for more than 20 years with licensed chimney inspections and repair work. When was the last time your chimney was properly inspected?
Never Neglect Your Chimney
If left alone, a chimney can begin to suffer ongoing damage that can lead to exorbitant repair bills down the line. Worse, a chimney that’s ignored can present a major health and safety risk for those living in the home.
When we perform chimney inspections in Stamford, we closely examine all visible areas of the chimney including the masonry and components such as the chimney cap, chimney flashing, and concrete chimney crown.
We’re experts at detecting early signs of damage and malfunction and showing you exactly how to reverse the problem to reduce safety risks and save you big money on future repairs.
Issues We Find when Inspecting Stamford Chimneys
Over the years, our Stamford chimney inspection services have turned up a variety of common issues that many homeowners face with their chimneys. These include:
Cracks within the concrete chimney crown: A deteriorated crown can allow damaging water into the chimney system.
Rusted or ill-fitting chimney cap: Your Stamford chimney can be a depository for tree debris and small-animal nests if your chimney cap is in disrepair.
Cracks in the masonry: A close look at a chimney often detects brick and mortar damage, which can progress to the point of major structural instability or collapse.
Warped or rusted chimney flashing: The flashing that seals the gap between the chimney and roof must be secure to prevent water damage below the roof structure.
What to Expect During a Chimney Inspection
Our inspection crew will need access to your home and roof, but rest assured that we won’t clutter up your house and leave a mess. We take great pride in performing chimney inspections for our Stamford customers, and we always treat your home as if it were our own.
Basic inspections aren’t lengthy projects. However, depending on what we find, we may recommend a more thorough and involved inspection to get to the bottom of a major known or suspected issue. In more serious cases, we may need to remove parts of the chimney structure in order to properly diagnose and repair a problem.
Annual Chimney Inspection for Your Stamford Home
The trick to preventing high-level inspections – and expensive chimney repairs – is to schedule an inspection once a year. This will bring you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your chimney is always working safely and correctly for you and your family.
