HOUSTON FIREPLACE INSPECTION SERVICE
The first step in a fireplace inspection is to determine what level of damage is present. A basic inspection is usually all that is needed. The purpose of a fireplace inspection is to determine whether the unit is safe and functional. You will need a higher level if you’re making a major change to the chimney or plan to sell your home.
A Level 1 inspection is the minimum required by law. It’s also appropriate when nothing has changed in the previous year. If your fireplace and chimney haven’t suffered any damage, a Level 1 inspection is the best option.
A Level 1 inspector will visually inspect the parts of your chimney that can be seen. They’ll check the structural soundness and connections, and make sure everything works properly. They’ll also check for any soot and creosote buildup and for any cracks or leaks.
DUCT X IN ACTION
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET YOUR FIREPLACE INSPECTED?
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends having your fireplace inspected every year to ensure the safety of your home. This will identify any potential problems your fireplace may have.
An inspection of both your fireplace and chimney is crucial to keeping your home safe. Duct X’s technician will do and check for the following:
- White stains across your chimney bricks and fireplace.
- Cracked/deteriorated mortar joints.
- Inspection of the interior of your chimney, using a video scanning device. It helps determine if cleaning should be performed and makes 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.
Fireplace Crack Repair
WHEN SHOULD YOU GET YOUR FIREPLACE INSPECTED?
An inspection of your fireplace every springtime before fire burning season is crucial to prevent a need of fireplace repairs.
Duct X technicians are reliable, experienced, and trained to inspect your fireplace. We service all our clients no matter how far.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T GET YOUR FIREPLACE INSPECTED?
If you don’t inspect your fireplace, it will jeopardize the lifespan of your fireplace and can even cause damage to your chimney. Two major problems will arise:
- 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.
