Chimney & Fireplace Diagnostics
A smoking fireplace, poor draft, or extinguished flame signals a problem lurking deeper than the obvious fireplace obstructions. Our system evaluation allows us to determine the root cause. The chimney height and draft performance are measured. Any blockage deeper in the flue is checked. Further testing of the damper is done. This is to check if there is proper operation. Also, a check-up of the firebox and surrounding masonry is done. Hidden damage is checked. Then moisture readings are taken. This is to check for signs of water. Once we figure out the actual source of the problem, we will provide the most straightforward and honest repair plan. At this stage, you will know what will be needed no more, no less in order to make it safe and proper.
Chimney Inspection in Hagerstown, MD
Weather in Hagerstown can be tough on chimneys. Rain, temperature changes, and humidity slowly weaken the stonework and brickwork long before you see damage. Therefore, we thoroughly inspect our chimney in Hagerstown, MD. We take a look at the outside brick, mortar and flashing. Next, we look at the chimney crown for cracks and weakness. After, we run a high definition camera through the flue to see inside. When we suspect water damage, we check the damper, smoke chamber, and firebox, and take moisture readings. You will get clear photos and explanations, along with our honest recommendation for repairs that are urgent and non-urgent after your inspection.
