Regular inspections are essential for identifying potential hazards and ensuring your chimney operates correctly. Located in Boca Raton, Florida, we offer comprehensive chimney inspection services to both residential and commercial clients, helping you maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
Comprehensive Chimney Inspections
Our chimney inspections are designed to thoroughly assess the condition of your chimney and identify any issues that may need attention. We offer three levels of chimney inspections, each tailored to different needs and circumstances:
Level 1 Inspection:
A Level 1 inspection is the most basic type of inspection and is recommended for chimneys that have been regularly maintained and have not undergone any changes. During this inspection, our technicians will:
- Examine the readily accessible portions of the chimney’s exterior, interior, and the accessible portions of the appliance and chimney connection.
- Check for the presence of any obstructions or combustible deposits.
- Ensure that the chimney structure is sound and the flue is free of obstructions.
Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection is more detailed and is required when:
- The chimney has undergone changes, such as a new liner, appliance, or fuel type.
- The property is being sold or transferred.
- There has been a malfunction or external event that might have caused damage to the chimney.
- Examination of accessible areas in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
- Video scanning or other advanced inspection techniques to inspect the interior surfaces and joints of all flue liners within the chimney.
Level 3 Inspection
A Level 3 inspection is the most comprehensive and is performed when serious hazards are suspected that cannot be confirmed without special tools to access concealed areas. This inspection includes all aspects of Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, along with:
- Examination of concealed areas of the chimney structure, which may involve removing components of the building or chimney where necessary.
- A thorough assessment to uncover and address severe structural issues or hidden dangers.
