Is it about time for a chimney inspection at your home?
Chimney inspections can keep you and your family safe and avoid an unwanted
fire. At Guardian Chimney, we take the safety of
your family very seriously. We perform inspections routinely all over New
Jersey. In this blog, we're going to explore some of the most common things our
team of Bergen County chimney inspectors sees
during an inspection.
Bird’s Nests
It is possible birds will build nests in your chimney flue,
especially if you do not use it often. A chimney inspection is a great way to
find out if you have a bird’s nest located in your chimney. It may be apparent
you have a bird’s nest, but not always. It is a good idea to have a chimney
inspection done annually before you start using it again after the summer to
prevent any surprises or chimney fires.
Structural Damage
After an external stressor, such as a fire or an earthquake,
you may incur structural damage. You may not be able to see it with the naked
eye, which is where a Level 2 video inspection
comes in handy. Our team of Bergen County chimney inspectors will be able to
safely assess the situation and recommend repairs as needed. This process can
save you from finding the damage after it's too late.
Buildup
Depending on the type of materials you commonly burn, soot
and grime can build up. It is important to have your chimney inspected and the
buildup removed. A buildup of materials in your chimney is hazardous and may
start a house fire. To prevent this type of situation, have our staff provide
you with a professional and comprehensive inspection.
