Why a Chimney Inspection Will Benefit You
Chimney and fireplace safety are of critical importance to homeowners. One of the best ways to accomplish this is with annual chimney inspections by our qualified chimney professionals.
When your chimney is checked out on a regular basis, you’re able to learn of early signs of damage and get the problems fixed before they become expensive chimney repair projects. Many issues within a chimney structure can’t easily be spotted by the average homeowner. That’s why it’s important to use only experienced chimney inspectors with solid credentials for this job.
Level 1 Chimney Inspection With Camera
A basic visual inspection is performed when your system hasn’t been changed or altered and no new appliance has been connected to the chimney. We’ll check the readily accessible areas of your chimney’s interior and exterior, looking for cracks, obstructions and other potential problems. Based on the condition of the flue, your technician may suggest a thorough chimney sweeping to remove obstructions and/or built-up creosote, which is a common issue with wood-burning fireplaces.
In addition to a visual inspection, we will use video scanning technology to closely inspect the flue’s interior. This will ensure there are no cracks or damaged flue tiles that would expose combustibles and cause a chimney fire.
Chimney Repair
When an inspection finds brick damage, mortar joint issues, defective chimney caps, cracked chimney crowns or other issues, our experienced chimney repair technicians are ready to get to work. Having timely chimney repair or chimney rebuilding work performed before the problem gets out of hand will ensure the safety and proper operation of your chimney/fireplace system.
Your Felgemacher inspector will be able to explain exactly what’s happening with your chimney or its components and recommend the best way to remedy the problem. We take great care in performing chimney work and our only goal is your complete satisfaction with every job.
