How we inspect chimneys in Aloma
Practical points from our chimney inspectors in Aloma.
Cracked or offset clay flue tiles
Clay flue tiles are stacked sections joined with mortar. A tile can crack under heat, and a joint can shift or open with time. From the top and from the firebox we look along the lining of the Aloma chimney for cracks, missing mortar between sections and tiles that step out of line. How much we can see depends on the chimney and its deposits. A section we cannot see clearly is recorded as unseen, never as sound. A crack high in the flue is recorded separately from one near the smoke chamber, because the repair route differs.
How the throat damper opens and closes
A throat damper sits just above the firebox and closes the chimney when the fireplace is cold. We work it through its full travel, check the handle and look for rust, warping and a plate that no longer meets its frame. A damper in your Aloma home that sticks or will not shut lets air and insects through, and a warped plate can hint at past overheating. Your written findings say whether cleaning, adjustment or a new damper fits the problem. If the handle feels loose, the linkage may be worn instead of the plate itself.
Hardened, glossy deposits in the flue
Glossy, hardened buildup inside a flue is harder to remove than ordinary soot and usually needs more than a brush. When we find it in your Aloma chimney we note how far it extends and whether it hides the lining underneath. Removal methods differ, and some lining damage only shows after the glaze comes off. The estimate explains that order of work, so a clean flue and a sound flue are never confused with each other. We will not quote a liner or tile repair until the lining can actually be seen.

What people in Aloma ask about chimney inspections
Answers from our specialists in Aloma, with no sales pressure.
Do you inspect sealed gas fireplaces?
We inspect the vent cap, the visible pipe and the roof or wall around it, and we check for nests or damage. Servicing the appliance itself is a separate job with its own estimate.
Can you inspect a chimney on a tile roof?
Yes. We choose where to step and how to reach the chimney so the tiles are protected. If a section cannot be walked safely, we inspect it from a ladder or the ground and note that in the findings.
