With the combination of visual inspection and advanced technology, we guarantee you an accurate detection of chimney issues. Through precise detection, we catch potential damage early before it turns into bigger problems and identify defects in chimneys that might have caused them to not function well.
Our technicians use the eye of an expert to inspect both the exterior and interior of chimneys to identify visible wear, damage, creosote or soot buildup, debris, and other harmful elements that could cause damage to chimney components like the masonry, crown, flashing, flue liners, damper, and firebox. And for inaccessible areas, we make use of advanced technologies to unfold intricacies like cracks, defects, or blockages within the chimney structures.
Moreover, to guarantee the efficiency of chimneys, we conduct a functional test in which we assess the draft, ventilation, and overall performance to identify any anomalies that may affect their operation.
