WHAT EXACTLY DO WE INSPECT IN YOUR CHIMNEY?

According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), your chimney should be inspected and cleaned once a year. Duct X’s technician will check the following:

If there are white stains across your chimney bricks.
If the mortar joints are cracked/deteriorated.
Inspect the interior of your chimney, using a video scanning device, helping us determine if cleaning should be performed and make cracks and leaks visible to us.
Put down protective floor coverings in front of your fireplace.
If the flashing is deteriorated/damaged
If the crown has melted/damaged.
Provide descriptive report of your system
Clean up all work areas.

WHEN TO CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY?

Homeowners are urged to have their chimneys inspected for creosote buildup and cleaned if necessary in the spring of each year (Before fire burning season). Take into account that during the spring, chimney technicians work at full capacity therefore the earlier the better. Duct X serves the greater Houston area to insure quality service for all clients in the area despite their distance.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON'T CLEAN MY CHIMNEY?

Not cleaning or inspecting your system could lead to two major things

The cap (the top part of your chimney) will get clogged with time which will get the smoke back into your fireplace and into your house.
The more you wait the more damage will happen ultimately leading to more costly procedures.
