Chimney inspection details that matter in Clarcona
Here is how our local team works through a chimney inspection at your Clarcona home.
The chase cover on a framed chimney
The chase cover is the metal sheet that closes the top of a framed chase. We look for rust, dents that hold water, loose edges and a sagging middle. One widely installed fireplace maker wants the chase top pitched downward, away from the pipe opening. On your Clarcona home a flat or rusted top tends to announce itself with streaks on the siding or water near the fireplace, and our notes say which part needs replacing and which can stay.
Following up on a home inspector's chimney note
A home inspection report may say only that the chimney should be evaluated by a specialist. Bring that exact line to us. At your Clarcona property we look at the item the inspector flagged, explain what it is and whether it needs work, and put any repair in a written estimate you can share with the other party. If the note turns out to be a minor item, you hear that plainly too. We look over the rest of the fireplace and chimney as well, since the flagged line may not be the only item.
Before solar panels or other roof equipment
Panels, vents and roof equipment installed close to a chimney can make later chimney repairs harder to reach. When roof work is planned at your Clarcona home, an inspection first lets you fix the crown, cap or flashing while the roof is still clear. We also point out the space the chimney needs around it, so the installer can plan a layout that leaves room for access. Chimney work done before panels go up is usually simpler than work squeezed in around them later.

Inspection answers for Clarcona homeowners
If your question is not here, our Clarcona team is a phone call away.
Do I need to be home during the visit?
It helps if you are. We explain the findings at the fireplace, where you can see what we mean and ask questions. If that is not possible, arrange access and we will go over the findings by phone.
Should I clean out the firebox before you arrive?
Please leave it as it is. Fallen debris, flakes and ash patterns tell us about the chimney above. Just make sure the fireplace is completely cold and the area in front of it is clear.
