Why Your Chimney Needs an Annual InspectionChimneys and their components are a lot like our cars. As months and miles pass, small signs of wear and damage begin to appear. With regular service, these problems get fixed before they become extensive and expensive.
As a homeowner, you can spot some signs of chimney damage at your Huntsville home, for example:
These are things you can notice, but there are many other ways a chimney can suffer damage or be in need of a thorough cleaning that you probably can’t spot. Concerning a chimney and many other things in life, it’s not the damage you can see that hurts you – it’s the damage you don’t know about.
What Do Chimney Inspectors Do?A-1 Chimney Specialist of Huntsville provides the three recognized levels of certified chimney inspection:
Level 1 Inspection: Your basic chimney inspection, covering the chimney structure and its components including the chimney cap, chimney crown, chimney liner, structural masonry, flashing, smoke chamber, smoke shelf and more.
Level 2 Inspection: This is a specialized inspection performed
A: when there has been a chimney fire
B: when the home is being sold
C: when a new fireplace insert or other appliance is being connected to the chimney
Level 3 Inspection: This inspection is only performed when a previous inspection has determined that there is significant structural damage to the chimney. Work may include removing sections of the chimney or dismantling adjacent walls or parts of the ceiling.
If you keep your Huntsville chimney in good shape through regular inspections and chimney sweep services, it’s unlikely you’ll ever be faced with a Level 3 chimney inspection.
