Chimney Lining Video Inspection

The clay tiles lining your chimney can crack or experience other damage over the years. Unfortunately, the type of damage isn't easy to see right away. The best solution is to have a closed circuit video inspection performed by our experienced chimney sweeps. We inspect your chimney liners from the bottom up and the top down. We can feed our video camera over the inside walls to accurately diagnose damaged tiles.

When Is a Video Inspection for Chimney Liners Necessary?

It's easy to understand how essential a good chimney liner is for your home and health. The tiles lining the inside walls serve as a protective barrier against flames, sparks, heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide. Without these protective tiles, the chimney could catch fire or send smoke and carbon monoxide directly into your home. The most common damage includes missing, cracked, chipped, or misplaced tiles. This damage occurs gradually over many years, which is why we recommend a video inspection under any of the following circumstances:

• You have never had your chimney inspected
• You are remodeling and adding a wood stove or furnace
• Your home does not have a liner 
• Your chimney or fireplace was built before World War II
• You notice the mortar deteriorating
• You find flaking, missing, or cracked tiles

Keep Water and Animals Out With a Chimney Cap

A chimney that isn't covered will suffer all the elements Mother Nature has to offer. Moisture from heavy rain and snow, even small animals and birds, can enter your chimney and cause problems. Call American Professional Chimney & Masonry to install a chimney cap so that the only elements in your flue are heat, smoke, and gasses escaping. Rain caps are also highly beneficial for fire prevention. On top of keeping rain and animals out, it keeps burning embers from exiting the chimney, which could land on your house or a nearby tree and start a fire.

Install the Right Chimney Cap With Our Help

Count on American Professional Chimney & Masonry for chimney repair, maintenance, and installation services. We have the knowledge and expertise to install the correct rain cap for your chimney. 

Chimney caps are metal accessories that consist of stainless steel, galvanized steel, or copper over a mesh screen. These screens effectively block animals from entering your chimney and moisture from damaging the chimney's structure. It is crucial to get the right-sized chimney cap. If the cap is too big or small, it won't perform properly and will become a waste of money. Our experienced professionals will install a high-quality rain cap of the proper size, so you receive all the benefits.

Down Draft Prevention

Down drafts are gusts of air that travel down the chimney and into the fireplace, causing smoke to blow directly into your house. The air can be frigid, increasing your energy consumption and utility bills. Thankfully, chimney caps are excellent for handling this problem. Keep your home smoke-free and comfortable with chimney cap installation from American Professional Chimney & Masonry. Request your service today!
