No homeowner should assume his chimney is safe for use without a thorough examination, both exterior and interior.

 Homeowners rely on video inspection of their chimneys for safety and efficiency
No homeowner should assume his chimney is safe for use without a thorough examination, both exterior and interior. Rain, flue gases, and freezing moisture cause erosion and deterioration in chimneys. Breaks in the chimney liner—even small ones—can lead to an unsafe condition, allowing combustion gases and condensation into the home.
While viewing the monitor screen from the hearth, homeowners see the condition of their fireplace and chimney. The scan operator can point out vital information for proper efficiency or unsafe conditions. In gas appliance chimneys, early detection of condensates can help prevent additional home repairs.
Every homeowner needs accurate information about his or her chimney’s condition. In the past, the examination of the chimney interior involved either an ineffective flashlight and mirror, or the expensive disassembly of part of the chimney to see problem areas. Now with the Nationwide Chimney video inspection service, it is easy to obtain an accurate evaluation of your chimney’s interior. |
 Your Nationwide Chimney inspector will be able to show you these unsafe conditions, if they exist:
• Improper new construction
• Chimney fire damage
• Improper prefab chimney connections
• Deterioration from gas appliance connections
• Cracks, even hairline cracks, in flue liners
• Broken or missing tile liners and mortar joints
• Deterioration from smoke shelf or damper
• “Quick-fixed” thimble holes
• Hidden breechings
• Nests, limbs and other blockages
