Our approach to chimney inspection in East Park
Practical points from our chimney inspectors in East Park.
Leaves and debris blocking the flue
A chimney without a working cap collects leaves, small branches and wind-blown debris. Enough of it can narrow the flue or rest on a closed damper for months without anyone noticing. We check the flue, the shelf and the damper at your East Park home for anything that should not be there. Clearing a blockage is usually simple, and the notes also cover why it got in, so the fix covers the cause. Debris in the flue is also a clue about the cap, which is usually missing, damaged or fitted with a torn screen.
A chimney that leans or pulls away
A chimney that appears to tilt, or a widening gap between the chimney and the house wall, is a structural question. Movement can come from the footing, the connection to the house or damaged masonry higher up. We look at the gap, the brick near the base and the roof junction at your East Park home, and we say plainly when a condition goes beyond an inspection and needs a structural answer before anyone uses the fireplace. Until that answer is in, the fireplace should stay out of use.
Before remodeling the room around a fireplace
New flooring, a new mantel or a refaced fireplace wall all touch the parts the code controls, such as the hearth extension and the space around the opening. Checking the fireplace before the remodel starts is easier than correcting it after. For a remodel in East Park, we inspect the firebox, hearth and surround and explain which measurements your designer or contractor should keep in mind. A new hearth or surround must also suit the fireplace type, since factory-built units have their own clearances. We are glad to review the plan with your contractor before materials are ordered.

What people in East Park ask about chimney inspections
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in East Park is free.
Can you inspect a factory-built fireplace?
Yes. We look for the listing label, check the firebox panels, the metal chimney, the chase cover and the cap, and compare what we see with the maker's instructions for that model.
Can you check a chimney after a roofer worked on it?
Yes. We look at the flashing, counterflashing and cricket where the new roof meets the chimney and check the attic for fresh staining. The written findings can go back to the roofer if something needs correcting.
