Introducing the ChimScan

No homeowner should assume his chimney can be used without a thorough examination, both exterior and interior.  Rain, flue gases, and freezing moisture cause erosion and deterioration in chimneys.  Breaks in the chimney liner - even small ones - can be a risky condition by allowing combustion gases and condensation into the home.  Check our page explaining the Levels of Inspection to see when a video inspection is required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). 

     While viewing the monitor screen from the hearth, you can see the condition of you fireplace and chimney.  We will point out vital information about the chimney interior condition.  We will be able to show you the following conditions, if they exist:Chim-Scan Video Camera

Improper new construction

Chimney fire damage

Improper prefab chimney connections

Deterioration from gas appliance connections

Cracks, even hairline cracks, in flue liners

Broken or missing tile liners and mortar joints

Deterioration of the smoke shelf or damper

"Quick-fixed" thimble holes

Hidden breechings

Nests, limbs and other blockages

Upon evidence of damage we will give you a copy of the video.  This is extremely helpful for insurance adjustors, home and/or fire inspectors and REALTORS.
