FIREPLACE INSPECTION- All fireplaces are a serious concern and are expensive to repair.  Fireplaces should be evaluated by an extensive inspection to detect the age, condition, and functionality to avoid the possibility of carbon monoxide leakage, gas leakage, and even worse, a potential house fire.  Wood burning fireplaces are a primary source of flue fires and should be inspected annually weather or not used and cleaned according to usage guidelines or annually.  A complete fireplace inspection prior to purchase will often avoid many costly repairs and assure the new owner that the risk of fire and or carbon monoxide poisoning are minimized.  We look for improper new construction, chimney fire damage, improper prefab chimney connections, deterioration from gas appliance connections, cracks, in flue liners, broken or missing tile liners and mortar joints, deterioration of the smoke shelf or damper, hidden breechings, nests, limbs and other blockages, and missing caps or deteriorated chase covers.
