The Chimney Inspection Process

For homes that use a chimney to push out exhaust heat, it's important to have regular inspections done on the chimney to make sure it is both structurally sound, and also to make sure that the airway is not obstructed in any way. Issues with either can raise safety concerns and increase the chance of a chimney fire in your home.

In some cases, a visual inspection will be sufficient. An inspection specialist can come in, take a look at and in your chimney, and conclude that things are working properly, and that your chimney can continue being used. There are other cases where a more thorough inspection needs to be completed. In these, a camera is used to look at the inside of the chimney and survey its interior for any potential issues. Areas that are great for video inspections include the smoke chamber, as well as the flue -- two areas that are responsible for many chimney fires that take place.
