Nothing is more comforting than curling up near crackling burning wood from your fireplace during winter. But you must remember your fireplace can't function well without a good chimney. To ensure your chimney and fireplace are adequately maintained and function as they should, it is important you carry out regular chimney inspections to know when to give your chimney a professional cleaning and when to carry out some repairs. Taking care of your chimney at all times as a homeowner should be among your list of priorities as winter approaches. Unfortunately, most homeowners in Lee's Summit have not yet understood the importance of giving their chimneys the care and maintenance they deserve.
Why Chimney Inspection is necessary
According to the CSIA-Chimney Safety Institute of America, the most important reason why you should give your chimney annual inspection is to guarantee your safety and the safety of everyone in your home. Another major reason you should invest in a regular chimney inspection is that your chimney is the second most common cause of home fire outbreaks. According to NFPA-National Fire Protection Association, failure to clean your chimney is one major reason why your home is at the risk of a home heating fire outbreak.
Over time, all the gases, smokes, and particles from the fire burning in your fireplace can lead to the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a very flammable material that can easily catch fire and burn, leading to a serious home fire. It is important to hire a certified chimney sweep to help you inspect your chimney and clean up your chimney if necessary. When you hire us to carry out chimney inspection on your chimney and fireplace, we make sure we give attention to details. Our major aim is to prevent fire outbreak.
Once we notice a build-up of creosote during the inspection, we can remove the creosote with a brush if the build-up is still in its early stages. However, if the build-up has been going on unchecked for long, removing it requires more serious techniques. It doesn't matter whether your chimney has been building up creosote for long without cleaning, the important thing is to let us come into the picture and do the needful. Once we take over the inspection and cleaning of your chimney, we make sure we do everything possible to restore your chimney to its original state and performance. Sometimes, we may have to replace your chimney liner entirely to achieve the desired results. While a simple cleaning will always be the most affordable option, more advanced options maybe a little more expensive. However, you can always have the assurance that we will do everything possible to keep the cost as low as possible.
How Often Should Your Chimney be Inspected?
There is no such thing as an excessive inspection of your chimney. The more you have a professional inspect your chimney, the lesser your risk of experiencing a chimney fire. Sometimes, the frequency of your chimney use will determine how often you have it inspected and cleaned. The NFPA and CSIA are of the opinion that you should have your chimney inspected at least once every year. Ensuring your chimney is inspected at least once every year will go a long way to keep you and your family healthy and safe and no other chimney sweep in Lee's Summit does the job of chimney inspection better than we do.
What Our Chimney Inspection Entails
When you hire us to handle your chimney inspection and cleaning projects, we make sure we check for possible buildups, damages, obstructions or structural problems. After inspection. we give your chimney a thorough cleaning to see if we will find any hidden damages. Once we spot any damage we will recommend immediate repairs.
The 3 Levels of Chimney Inspection
There are different levels of chimney inspection. The condition of your chimney as at the time we arrive at your home will determine the level of inspection we will give your chimney. Let's look at these 3 levels and what they entail:
Level 1: This level will involve making a thorough check of the visible and all easily accessible parts of your chimney. During this first level of inspection, we check if your chimney structure is still sound with all of its components working as they should. Once we find your chimney in good shape with no problems with your fireplace, we will schedule an annual inspection at this level.
Level 2: At this level, things are getting more serious. The level 2 inspection is necessary if the level 1 didn't satisfy our curiosities. At this level, we bring in equipment like cameras for the inspection of the inner parts of your chimney. The level 2 inspection addresses all parts of your chimney that are not accessible without specialized tools. The areas addressed include your basement, crawl space, and attic. This type of inspection is necessary after you make serious changes to your chimney like changing your fuel type, after a fire outbreak, a liner change, etc.
Level3: At this level, we inspect every part of your chimneys such as all hidden and covered areas that cannot be reached without advanced tools. Depending on what needs to be done, this level may require damaging some parts and rebuilding them after the inspection and repairs.
A chimney inspection is more meaningful when done by a professional. When you hire us, we are bound to track down the problem with your chimney and provide the most suitable solution to your chimney and fireplace problems.
