Homeowners: Inspections are an important part of keeping your chimney working properly, and helps to prevent fires as well as carbon monoxide from building up inside your home. Inspections are recommended annually and before you light your first fire of the year.
Home-buyers: Chimney inspections are also vital to your home-buying process. If you are considering buying a home make sure to have your chimney inspected in addition to your traditional home inspection. We have supported many first time home buyers and experienced buyers alike to make sure they know what they are getting into. We are realtor recommended and enjoy being a part of your home buying process.
Here are a few things we look for:
- The structure of the flue and other elements
- Make sure combustibles are not in contact with any parts of the building
- Look for any natural organic material that may be obstructing the chimney
Rebuilding / Brick Repair
Weather and natural decay can cause cracks in the joints of brickwork, allowing water to enter the chimney or walls of your home. Repointing (tuckpointing and spalling) is the process of filling these cracks in the joints of brickwork. Having your chimney inspected annually can catch such damage before it gets too bad.
