What goes into a chimney inspection in Lockhart
Practical points from our chimney inspectors in Lockhart.
Inspecting a chimney after a strong storm
High wind and heavy rain test every part of a chimney top. After a storm, look from the yard for a tilted cap, missing flashing, loose brick or debris on the roof, but stay off the roof yourself. Our crew in Lockhart checks the cap, crown, flashing and chimney faces, and tells you which damage needs quick attention and which can join a later repair. If water came indoors, mention exactly where it appeared. Storm damage and older wear are priced as separate lines, which keeps your records clear.
Chimney checks for rental properties
Landlords and property managers often want a clear record of the fireplace before a new tenant moves in. We inspect the rental in Lockhart, explain which items need repair before use and write up the findings so they can go into your property file. If you would rather the fireplace stay out of service, we can describe how to close it off safely and what that involves. A clear record also helps if a tenant later reports a stain, a smell or smoke from the fireplace.
Items worth watching instead of fixing now
A hairline crack that has not moved, light staining with no active water or slightly worn mortar may not need work today. We note those items so you can keep an eye on them, and we explain what change would make them a repair. For your Lockhart home, that means the estimate only carries the work that is justified now, and you know what to look for between visits. If a watched item changes, such as a crack widening or a stain returning, call and we will take another look.

What people in Lockhart ask about chimney inspections
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Lockhart is free.
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.
Does the inspection include a sweep?
No, cleaning is a separate service. If deposits hide the lining, we may recommend sweeping before we finish the inspection, and that appears on the estimate as its own item for you to approve.
