CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Chimney Inspections in Seattle
A + Salazar Masonry LLC specializes in providing a variety of masonry service, but we also can help with chimney inspections in the Greater Seattle area. One key thing to keep in mind when owning a home with a chimney is that annual chimney inspections are a good idea to insure proper fireplace safety. Most modern wood burning stoves and fireplace come with very specific installation instruction and every manufacturer has different clearance to combustibles for wood stoves or fireplaces. Therefore, having a chimney inspection is highly important to a correctly installed fireplace.
We offer residential chimney inspections in Seattle where we can help determine the correct clearance to combustibles. Typically, the clearance details will be listed on the sheet metal plate on the appliance, which is the determined clearance that must be abided by.
When we perform a chimney inspection, we will thoroughly inspect for both regulations being met as far as correct clearances as well as any hidden defects. In some cases, there are hidden construction defects of many sorts that may exists. These need to be identified with a chimney inspection. These inspections are not intended as a guarantee of safety or the absence of hazards of use, and no guarantee is implied.
