Chimney Images

Sweeping

Floor protection from the entrance to the servie area.

We want you to remember us for the job that we performed and not by sooty footprints left behind! Protective covers are used from the entrance to the area of service.

Sweep using protective equipment to sweep chimney.

Our sweeps also use protective gear such as gloves, a head cover, face shield, and positive pressure respirator.

Closed Circuit Video Inspection Equipment.

Closed circuit video inspections are performed on the interior of the chimney flue as a standard procedure. All information is recorded to the sweeps laptop computer.

 

We make sure you don't breathe in any dust or soot by running a HEPA filter vacuum. Our sweeps are protected with a positive pressure respirator.

Our HEPA filter vaccum is equipped with three motors to allow us to adjust the suction strength.

 

Tools of the trade.

Here is some equipment used during the sweeping process.

Exterior of chimney to be inspected.

Here is a photo of a chimney that needed to be inspected. The photo was taken during the exterior visual inspection while on the roof.

Visual inspection results with a flashlight looking down the chimney from the roof.

This is the inside of the same chimney. The image was taken during the visual inspection with a flashlight. Looks pretty good huh? You can see the brush marks from where it was swept and it looks like it's in great condition, but wait! Let's double check.

Cracked flue tile observed during the interior closed circuit video inspection.

This image was acquired during the interior inspection of the same chimney performed with the closed circuit video inspection system. There is an obvious crack in the clay flue liner.

Separation of the clay flue tiles taken during the video inspection.

If the crack wasn't enough to convince you that a closed circuit video inspection should be performed on all chimneys maybe this will change your mind. This is a gap between two clay flue liners that is so prominent the exterior wall of the chimney can be seen through them!

 

Looks can be deceiving! Don't let your chimney fool you. Have it inspected thoroughly so you are not gambling with your family's health and safety!
