Chimney Inspection

Why Do You Need a Chimney Inspection?

chimney inspection | chimney diagramYes, we know this is Texas. Preparing for the winter is pretty basic: drag the winter clothes out, check the antifreeze, perhaps move the plants into the garage, and stock up on wood. People don’t tend to think about a chimney inspection.

The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.”

When was the last time you had a professional chimney inspection?

Creosote

One of the main things a chimney inspector is looking for is creosote buildup- the flammable byproduct of burning wood.

Regular chimney cleaning eliminates creosote buildup and optimizes chimney performance.

Over time, the buildup obstructs the flow of air through a chimney and prevents carbon monoxide from escaping.

It eventually becomes flammable and causes a chimney fire, possibly burning the house down.

Weathering

Spalling is the deterioration and flaking of the chimney due to weathering. Without regular waterproofing treatment, the brick or stone and mortar will erode, requiring professional masonry.

Don uses only the finest in chimney waterproofing treatment products. Chimney Saver is the leading distributor of chimney chemicals, products, and solutions.

Just remember- catching the problem early is the difference between a simple repair and having part of– or your entire– chimney rebuilt.

Debris

Even if you burn gas, your chimney still needs to be inspected for debris.

Leaves, nests, and the like are hazardous, decreasing chimney performance and causing chimney fires.

Our animal/debris removal services are what you need.

Prevention
