The Benefits of a Video Chimney Inspection

Since some parts of your chimney are hidden, there are likely hazards that are impossible for you to see. That is why it is very important to have a professional chimney sweeping and inspection every year. Although a professional chimney sweep can get a better look at your chimney, it can still be difficult to examine the hidden parts. At All Seasons Chimney, we gives you the option of scheduling a video chimney inspection.

A video scan comes with the Level 2 inspections, but we can add this to our Level 1 inspection too. Our certified and trained chimney professionals use the Chim-Scan Chimney Inspection Camera System to get an up-close look at the inside of your chimney. With a thorough look at the inside of your chimney, you can rest easy. We would like to tell you more about the benefits of this chimney inspection.

Provides clear evidence for home insurance claims

man inspecting chimneyIf your chimney has been struck by lightning, a chimney fire, or another incident, a video scan chimney inspection will give you exactly what you need to give to your home insurance agent when filing a claim. Our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified chimney professionals provide you photographs of any damage we find during the inspection. You will also receive a copy of the video scan.

Allows chimney professionals to find hazards lurking inside the chimney

One of the most dangerous issues inside a chimney is having cracks in the flue liner. When this type of damage is present, you are at a greater risk for an accidental fire. With our Chim-Scan video camera system, we are able to find any damage inside your chimney. This is why a Level 2 chimney inspection is necessary when buying or selling a home. You will be able to use the video scan and the photographs of the chimney, if we find problems, when negotiating the price of the home.

Adding a video scan to your chimney inspection is the best way to know your chimney is safe and efficient. Contact us today at All Seasons Chimney to schedule an appointment!

Get Ready for Your Chimney Appointment

Now that the warmer weather of spring has finally arrived in the Hudson Valley region, it is time to close out your fireplace. Although it may seem like a lot of work, all you really need to do is simply give the team at All Seasons Chimney a call. For over 25 years, we have been taking care of chimneys with excellent and professional chimney maintenance, repair, and installation services.

Our sweeps have all received certifications from industry leaders such as the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). You can rest easy knowing that your chimney is in good hands. While we are good at sweeping and inspecting your chimney, we do ask a few things from you before our arrival. We would like to tell you how to prepare for your chimney maintenance appointment. We also want to help you understand the importance of annual professional chimney maintenance.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

man sweeping chimneyIf you want your chimney maintenance service appointment with us to go as smoothly as possible, we do have a few requests. Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps need for your fireplace appliance to be nice and cool so we can do our job safely. We ask you to not use your fireplace for at least 24 hours before we arrive for your appointment.

As we set up to sweep your chimney, we want to make sure we leave your home as clean as we find it. We do this by laying down tarps and drop cloths around the hearth area. We do ask you to remove any breakables and other valuables from this area to keep them safe. You should also move any furniture, rugs, and items that are within a six-foot radius of your fireplace. We also ask that you block off the work area from your pets so they can stay clean and safe while we work.

WHY ANNUAL CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE IS SO IMPORTANT

The reason why the CSIA and other national fire safety organizations recommend that homeowners have their chimneys professionally swept and inspected every year is to avoid dangerous hazards such as chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks. When All Seasons Chimney sweeps your chimney, we will ensure that every bit of creosote has been removed from the inner walls. Creosote is highly flammable, and the CSIA has named it a leading cause of chimney fires. Your safety is our top priority, and you can trust us to make sure your chimney is free of damage and problems.

Now is the best time to take care of your annual chimney maintenance. Contact us at All Seasons Chimney to schedule an appointment with one of our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps today!
