Looking closely at chimneys in Tangerine
Straight answers about chimney inspection in Tangerine, from the people who do it.
The storm collar where the pipe exits
Where a metal chimney pipe rises through the chase cover, a narrow band called the storm collar turns water away from the gap. One manufacturer's instructions for its chimney system call for that collar to be sealed where it meets the pipe. We check whether the collar on your Tangerine chimney is present, snug and sealed. A missing or slipped collar lets rain run straight down beside the pipe, which is an inexpensive fix once it is spotted. We also confirm the pipe is not caulked solid to the chase top collar, which one maker's manual advises against.
Mantel and trim close to the fireplace opening
A wood mantel frames a fireplace nicely, yet the code keeps combustible trim at a distance. Code section R1001.11 lets trim sit near a masonry fireplace only within limits, including twelve inches from the inside of the firebox lining and a cap on how far anything within twelve inches of the opening may project. We measure the mantel, side trim and any added decor around your Tangerine fireplace and tell you what, if anything, sits too close. Darkened paint or heat marks on a mantel are useful clues that it sits closer than it should.

Is the chimney inspection really free?
Yes. You pay nothing for the inspection or the written estimate, and you are not bound to book anything. Cleaning or repairs we recommend are priced upfront so you can decide in your own time.
Will you tell me if the fireplace is safe to use?
We tell you what we found and whether any item should be fixed before the next fire. When a concern cannot be resolved within the access available, we say so plainly instead of guessing.
