🔥 ANOTHER CHIMNEY SAFETY PROJECT UNDERWAY! 🔥
Today we started a very important chimney restoration project on a home where the sale had been delayed because of unsafe chimney conditions.
Like many homes, this chimney serves multiple systems — the main boiler and the fireplace.
During our inspection, we identified serious concerns with the boiler flue, including evidence of combustion gases/Carbon Monoxide entering areas of the home. This is exactly why proper chimney and venting inspections are so important.
We also found that the main masonry fireplace smoke chamber required a protective fire-resistant coating to properly protect the masonry and improve the safety and performance of the fireplace.
🏠 Our job this week is to correct these deficiencies and bring the chimney and venting system into compliance with the applicable safety and code requirements.
Once the work is completed, the chimney will be ready for the final inspection, allowing our customer to move forward with the sale of their home.
📸 Here are a few pictures from today's work.
This is a perfect example of why we always tell homeowners:
Don't wait until you're selling your home to find out there's a problem with your chimney.
A professional chimney and ventilation inspection can uncover problems that aren't visible from the outside — including:
🔥 Fire-safety concerns
☠️ Carbon monoxide and combustion-gas problems
🏠 Structural deterioration
💨 Improper or deteriorated venting
🧱 Damaged masonry and smoke chambers
⚠️ Code and safety issues
Find the problem. Fix the problem. Protect the home.
At High Tech Chimney & Ventilation, we make the process as simple as possible — from inspection and diagnosis through the necessary repairs.
