A cozy fireplace can be the heart of your home, but it also comes with important responsibilities. Regular chimney inspections are necessary to keep your home safe and your fireplace working efficiently. At Emerson Pro Services, we specialize in thorough chimney inspection, sweep, and cleaning services for homeowners who value safety and peace of mind.
Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a professional chimney inspection with our experienced team.
1. Initial Evaluation and Safety Check
Your chimney technician will assess your fireplace and system from top to bottom. This includes checking the firebox, damper, flue, and chimney cap for signs of wear or damage. The goal is to identify potential fireplace safety hazards before they become serious problems, like creosote buildup, blockages, or cracks in the flue liner.
2. Creosote and Soot Assessment
Over time, your chimney collects creosote—a flammable byproduct of wood combustion. If left unchecked, creosote buildup can increase your risk of chimney fires. During the chimney inspection, we’ll determine whether it’s time for a professional chimney sweep and remove any hazardous buildup to restore safe operation.
3. Interior and Exterior Structural Review
The integrity of your chimney is just as important as cleanliness. We examine the masonry, flashing, chimney crown, and surrounding roofline for signs of wear, leaks, or weather-related damage. Chimneys exposed to harsh elements in Texas often need proactive maintenance to prevent long-term structural issues.
4. Camera Inspection (If Needed)
Sometimes, we use specialized video equipment to inspect hard-to-see areas inside your chimney. This advanced tool helps us locate internal damage, obstructions, or nesting animals, ensuring nothing is missed during the inspection.
5. Chimney Cleaning and Sweep Services
If your inspection reveals the need for cleaning, we’ll perform a complete chimney cleaning and sweep to remove ash, debris, soot, and creosote. Our team uses professional-grade brushes and vacuums to leave your chimney spotless—and your living space dust-free.
6. Fireplace Safety Recommendations
We’ll review any findings once the inspection is complete and recommend steps to improve fireplace safety. This might include scheduling repairs, waterproofing your chimney, installing a new cap, or simply sticking to an annual cleaning schedule.
