Chimney Liner FAQs
What does a chimney liner inspection check?
An inspection checks accessible parts of the liner for visible damage, buildup, blockages, and gaps. The scope depends on the chimney and inspection method. The findings can help identify whether further evaluation or repair may be needed.
When should I schedule a liner inspection?
Consider an inspection if you notice smoke problems, unusual odors, visible damage, or a change in fireplace performance. It can also help before regular heating season or after a chimney event that may have affected the flue.
Will the inspection require a camera?
Not every inspection uses a camera. A camera may be helpful when the flue needs a closer look or parts are difficult to assess from the opening. The appropriate method depends on the chimney's condition and access.
How should I prepare for the inspection?
Let the fireplace or appliance cool before the appointment, and clear access to the hearth and chimney area. Share any concerns, recent chimney work, or changes you've noticed so the inspector can take them into account.
What happens if the liner is damaged?
The inspection findings can help clarify the location and apparent condition of the damage. Ask what the results mean for your chimney and whether repair or further assessment is recommended. Avoid using the appliance if you suspect an immediate safety issue.
