How We Troubleshoot Chimney Problems
Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists has been taking care of chimneys and fireplaces for 40 years! Over these years, our chimney technicians have learned the best practices for providing comprehensive chimney services, and they have trained and received certifications from professional leaders in our industry such as the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fireplace Institute (NFI).
Our chimney professionals continue their education on new developments in technologies and changes in local building safety codes to provide the best chimney maintenance, repair, and installation services to the Upstate South Carolina region. We would like to tell you more about the first step we take when we troubleshoot chimney problems, which is to provide outstanding professional inspection services.
What should I expect from a professional chimney inspection from Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists?
When you hire our certified and experienced chimney technician to inspect your chimney, you can trust us to follow the guidelines established by the NFPA. From our experience and training, we have found that a chimney inspection is the easiest and quickest way to diagnose a problem.
Depending on the situation, we can usually find out what is wrong with your chimney with either a Level 1 or Level 2 inspection. However, if we perform a Level 3 to pinpoint and correct a problem, we will let you know exactly why and let you consider the options. You can count on us to keep you safe from dangerous fire hazards, no matter what level of inspection you need. When your inspection is complete, you get a written explanation of the condition of your chimney and its component. We also give you an honest written estimate of repairs that are necessary for your chimney to run safely and efficiently.
If you’ve made updates to your fireplace, buying or selling a home, or if your chimney has suffered damage from an external event such as a tornado or lightning strike, you need a Level 2 chimney inspection. We use this inspection to examine the condition of your chimney in order to determine what is needed next.
