Inspections (Type I & II) |
|
|
|
| |
|
Type I Inspection
A
type I inspection involves a visual inspection performed by our
Certified technicians after the flue is cleaned (swept).
Our inspectors will view the chimney/flue by looking up through
the flue from the bottom with a strong light, This process is
then repeated from the chimney top. Our inspector may also
perform a walk-thru, following the chimney up through the
dwelling, inspecting the external walls of the chimney at all
visible locations. This is the most basic type of inspection,
but it will uncover most serious problems. This inspection is
always included with a flue cleaning. Upon
completion, our inspector will provide our clients with a system
evaluation & condition report.
Type
II Inspection
Type II inspections typically involve inspecting the chimney
flue with a Chim-Scan. A Chim-Scan
video inspection is the most accurate type of safety inspection
performed by certified CSIA inspectors. During this inspection,
a camera is either lowered down or raised up through the flue. A
monitor
allows the inspector to view the condition of the internal walls
of the entire flue. The inspector then has the option of taking
instant pictures or making a video tape of the entire
flue. The client can view the entire inspection immediately
following this inspection. This is the only safety inspection
that allows the inspector to view/find the exact problems and
exact location of the
problems.

Chimney Relining |

Chimney
Relining
A
chimney with a damaged liner or an improperly lined chimney can
be a seriously dangerous hazard to your home and family.
The purpose of a flue-liner is to contain the heat and smoke
created by a chimney fire and to prevent it from reaching and
damaging the building the chimney is attached to.
Under no circumstances should fires be built in fireplaces or
furnaces which vent to chimneys that have a damaged or improper
flue-liner. Unlined or damaged chimneys allow heat and
smoke to move through the brick chimney walls very quickly and
will easily allow the adjacent wood to catch fire. In
addition, poorly lines chimneys venting gas or oil burning
appliances can allow poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide to
leak into the dwelling with fatal consequences.

Damper Installation & Repair |
|
|
|
| |
|
A damper is the movable plate used for controlling
the flow of air and smoke in a fireplace. Dampers can rust, warp and need replacement. Top-sealing dampers mount to the top of the chimney and are
controlled by a stainless steel cable that attaches to a handle in the firebox area.
Top-sealing dampers are used to replace deteriorated, malfunctioning or missing dampers. Dampers reduce heat loss,
eliminate down drafts, and save on heating and air conditioning costs.

Waterproofing/Flashing Repair |
|
|
|
| |
|
Waterproofing
involves sealing the cracks between the chimney and roof lining
with a special high-temperature sealant to stop water damage. If
watermarks are present on your ceiling near your chimney your
chimney flashing could be the culprit.

Tuckpointing |
|
|
|
| |
|
Masonry chimneys constructed of brick and stone can develop voids, cracks, crumbling mortar, or uneven areas of mortar from settling or foundation problems. Separations between brick and mortar can allow air and water to leak through gaps in the chimney. Repairing cracked mortar is called tuck-pointing.
Tuck-pointing is typically needed when exposure (of 25-30 years) causes mortar joints to crack, flake, or disintegrate. Large holes and washed out mortar are typical signs that tuck-pointing is needed.
Although the right material and technique are usually enough to deliver a water-tight job, it usually takes the skill of experienced professionals to use the proper mortar mix and tools to match existing mortar.
