OUR SERVICES INCLUDE
If your home or chimney is penetrated by water, both interior and exterior damage can be caused including:
1) Broken brickwork and/or spalled brickwork (flaking, cracking, peeling, crumbling or chipping of bricks)
2) Metal or masonry firebox assemblies may become damaged by water exposure
3) Damper assemblies may become rusted
4) Central heating systems may deteriorate due to water or excessive moisture exposure
5) The mortar between the bricks that are in essence the façade of your chimney can crack and weaken the joints between bricks
6) Flue liner systems can crack
A safe, code-compliant liner protects a masonry chimney's walls from heat, potential damage, and corrosion from combustion byproducts.
A safe, compliant chimney lining is mandated in most fire codes as a result of extensive testing by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) to address concerns about durability, performance, and safety. Therefore, in a contemporary masonry chimney, the flue lining is made of terra cotta, ceramic or metal, and serves several functions:
Our sweeps first inspect your fireplace or heating system, the chimney or flue pipe, the spark arrestor, and other related components. If they see any problems, they will make recommendations for remediation.
After the chimney inspection, technicians cover the inside of the fireplace to contain soot or dust created during the cleaning process. They then either climb to the roof, or from inside the home with poles, brushes and scrapers - soot and debris fall to the bottom. The sweep then removes the debris, cleans out the inside of the fireplace, and vacuums any remaining dust or soot.
The necessity of a chimney cap
Every chimney should have a cap in order to protect it from the elements, as well as certain other environmental factors as shown below.
A properly installed chimney cap decreases your chimney's exposure to this damage by keeping most of the water out.
The Importance of Chimney Inspections
Level 1
In a Level 1 inspection, our technician will examine easily accessed portions of the chimney exterior, interior and accessible components of the chimney connection.Tge technician will examine your chimney structure, flue, appliance installation, and connections as well as check for combustible deposits and obstructions.
Level 2
A Level 2 includes the requirements in a Level 1 inspection and may include a visual/video inspection to examine internal surfaces and flue liner joints. During Level 2, the technician explores accessible portions of the chimney, plus attics, basements and crawl spaces.
Level 3
A Level 3 Inspection is warranted when hidden hazards are suspected. It includes all the items checked in Levels 1 and 2 and then goes beyond to access concealed areas of the chimney or flue. it is performed with special tools and may entail removing or destroying some permanent portions of the chimney or building, which will likely require masonry repairs.
A full sealing and functional damper is a must
The damper is one of the most important components of your fireplace. The damper stops the warm air from inside your home from escaping through the chimney to the outside environment. If your damper is open or leaks, you might as well be throwing money out the window with what you are wasting in heating costs. In most cases, a homeowner will see a return on his or her investment, in having their damper replaced within 2 heating seasons.
