Inspection Services
Our firm offers Level I and
Level II inspections as per National Fire Protection
Association standards. We utilize the most
technologically advanced equipment available to perform
complete safety inspections for everyday homeowners,
prospective buyers, insurance agencies, general contractors,
and restoration businesses.
Our chimney technicians are CSIA certified.
 Our
Chim-Scan closed circuit internal evaluation
system allows us to give you an accurate evaluation of your
chimney’s interior. While others may claim that they can
properly check the flue’s interior condition with a
flashlight, we have proven time and time again that you
cannot get a reliable evaluation without using our Chim-Scan
system. |

Chimney Lining
 Most
masonry chimneys were not designed to handle the venting
requirements of modern high-efficiency heating appliances
burning liquid propane, natural gas, oil, wood, pellet, or
coal. These improperly lined chimneys can cause a number of
costly structural and cosmetic problems for the homeowner,
and also create potentially serious safety hazards.
In 1996 there were 23,000 residential fires related to
chimneys and solid fuel appliances in the United States.
Each year there are thousands of cases of Carbon Monoxide
poisoning due to improperly lined chimneys.

Dampers
Don't let your valuable heat escape through your roof's "big
hole". Keep your heat inside with a quality stainless
steel or cast aluminum damper. Dampers also allow
better flow for flue gases exiting the chimney. When
closed, a damper serves as a cap. Models are available
with built-in caps. All of our dampers carry lifetime
warranties.
Caution: Never use dampers on
chimneys with gas logs. If the homeowner forgets to open the
damper, the gas fumes are difficult to detect, and this
could lead to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Also, if a gas leak
occurs, the gas could build up in the chimney, posing a
dangerous risk. |
