Inspections
Regularly scheduled inspections by trained professionals are crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of your chimney and fireplace system. At Swept Away, our certified technicians provide comprehensive inspections tailored to uncover any potential hazards or areas in need of repair.
As part of a typical inspection, we thoroughly evaluate the interior and exterior components using video camera scans and other specialized tools. We check the structural condition of the masonry bricks, mortar, chimney crown, flue liners, and more. Our inspections also aim to identify any combustible buildup, obstructions from debris or animal nests, or improper construction that could impede airflow and draft.
For fireplace inspections, we assess the firebox area, damper, smoke chamber, and overall clearances to combustibles per fire safety codes. We look for any cracks in the firebrick or other masonry components that could contribute to hazardous gas leaks. With Swept Away’s detailed inspection reports and expert repair recommendations, you can take proactive steps to address any issues before they become major safety risks or lead to costly damage. Preserve the integrity of your system with annual professional inspections.
