What goes into a chimney inspection in Summerport Beach
What our pros check and why, on chimney inspections across Summerport Beach.
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 Summerport Beach 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.
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 Summerport Beach 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.
Getting onto the roof safely
Much of a chimney inspection happens on the roof. Tile roofs, steep pitches, wet surfaces and fragile skylights all change how we reach the chimney and where we step. At your Summerport Beach home we choose the route that protects the roof covering and keeps the crew safe. When a part of the roof cannot be walked that day, we note which parts of the chimney were seen from the roof and which from the ground or a ladder. Ladders go on firm ground, with padded feet wherever they touch gutters or walls.
