Chimney Inspections You Can Trust

Breakdowns in the chimney system are not always apparent, and a lot of homeowners make the mistake of thinking an unused fireplace is problem-free. One of the most dangerous situations is when homeowners haven’t used their fireplaces for years and assume that it’s ready to use.

The truth is, the deterioration of the chimney could have occurred since the last usage, or there could be a blockage in the system. These unseen problems can lead to a house fire or expose the household to deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.

When you call Heritage Air Duct Cleaning & Chimney Sweeps for a chimney inspection, we will send a technician to your home to inspect the interior and exterior of your chimney. Our inspection report will let you know if the firebox, smoke chamber, flue pipes, and flue caps are in good condition. 

Benefits of Regular Chimney Inspection

A chimney can cause problems if it doesn’t receive proper care from professionals and routine cleaning. Below are some of the benefits you can get from scheduling regular inspections for your chimney.

Creosote Detection

The leading threat to your chimney system is creosote. Creosote is the unburned wood energy that builds up because of poor venting and the burning of greenwood. Even with excellent venting and care, creosote can still develop inside your chimney.

This material is highly combustible and can cause a fire in the upper parts of your home, such as the second floor and the roof. If our inspector finds too much creosote accruing along with the interior of your chimney, it’s time for a thorough cleaning.

Finding Problems with Flue Dampers

You need to open the flue damper when you have a fire going to allow smoke to vent, and close it when the fireplace is not in use so heat from your home won’t escape. 

If the flue damper is damaged, it may have trouble opening and closing. This will lead to improper venting. A chimney inspection can catch this and professionals know how to repair it.

Locating Issues with Flue Lining

The chimney lining, which is made from clay, ceramic, or refractory cement, is responsible for containing the combustion byproducts of the fireplace and properly venting them to the outside while protecting the rest of the chimney from fires or corrosion. 

Damage to the flue lining can lead to fire and poor venting. A chimney inspection can locate places where the lining needs replacement.

Three Levels of Chimney Inspections

Below are the three levels of chimney inspections.

Level 1 Chimney Inspection

A Level 1 Chimney Inspection is needed for the following situations.

• The chimney performance hasn’t changed noticeably.
• The appliance and venting system has not changed.
• You simply need to be assured of the continued safe use of the chimney.

Level 1 Chimney Inspections should be done annually and are best scheduled at the same time as a chimney cleaning. The technician will examine the readily accessible interior and exterior parts of the chimney and chimney connection.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection applies to the following conditions:

• You recently purchased a home, and you are not familiar with the condition of the chimney system.
• You plan to make modifications to your chimney or heating system.
• There was a recent fire in the chimney.

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection, in addition to including everything covered in Level 1, involves an in-depth inspection of the entire chimney system, along with the wood stove, furnace, or other appliance. All internal joints and surfaces will be looked at. 

During a Level 2 Inspection, our team will use a special video camera to inspect the internal surface and all flue liners among other aspects. If during a Level 2 Chimney Inspection, we discover hazards that need to be further inspected by removing sections of your chimney, a Level 3 Chimney Inspection will be required.

Level 3 Chimney Inspection

Level 3 Chimney Inspections, which are very rare, involve everything in the first two levels plus the full investigation of potential deterioration in areas that are not readily accessible. Some parts of the heating system may need to be removed, such as bricks, metal flue pipes, masonry, chimney crowns, interior walls of the chimney, and more.

A Level 3 Chimney Inspection is required only when Level 1 and 2 inspections reveal a serious problem that requires immediate action.
