Looking closely at chimneys in Holden Heights
Here is how our local team works through a chimney inspection at your Holden Heights home.
Checking the spark screen on the chimney cap
Where a masonry chimney has a spark arrestor, section R1003.9.2 of the state's residential code sets its limits. The mesh must block anything wider than half an inch without blocking anything smaller than three-eighths of an inch, and it must come off for cleaning. We check the screen on your Holden Heights cap for holes, rust and soot clogging that slows the draft. A sound screen stays in place, and a torn one appears on the estimate with the replacement named. Heavy soot on the mesh is also a hint about how the fireplace is being burned.
Rattling and whistling from the chimney top
A rattle on windy days often comes from a loose cap, a bent lid or a damper plate moving in its frame. A whistle can come from a gap in the cap or a damaged screen. Neither sound is dangerous on its own, but each points to a part that is working loose. During the inspection in Holden Heights we find the source and tell you whether tightening it will do or whether the part needs replacing. Noises that change when the damper is opened or closed also help locate the source.
Homes with more than one fireplace
A house with two or three fireplaces may have them on separate chimneys or sharing one structure with separate flues. Each deserves its own findings. When you book for your Holden Heights home, tell us which fireplaces you want inspected and which you use. The written estimate names each one by room, so a repair on the family room fireplace is never confused with the one upstairs. If you only use one fireplace, we still mention obvious concerns with the others, such as an open flue letting in rain. Each fireplace's findings stand on their own.
