A thorough chimney inspection covers the chimney’s interior and exterior, looking for cracks, creosote buildup, blockages (like nests), and other safety hazards. It also includes checking the flue liner, damper operation, firebox, chimney cap, and masonry. In Oakdale, many inspections also leverage specialized cameras to view otherwise hidden damage. Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report and expert recommendations tailored to your specific chimney and home.
