"Inspection was not great. Wanted a camera view of the entire length of the chimney to ascertain joint problems in flue, not just a cell phone image near the top of the chimney. Cleaning and clean up were done fine."

"I had a great experience with Clear Choice Chimney. They performed an inspection on my wood-burning fireplace, explained everything that needed to be done before the upcoming winter, and made sure I understood the condition of my chimney. They completed the necessary repairs, cleaned everything thoroughly, and the entire process was professional and smooth. The team was knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I?m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable chimney work."

"Had my chimney cleaned and inspected by Alefi. He was very thorough and gave a detailed explanation of a few repairs that were needed (new chimney cap and recommended waterproofing). Gave a prompt estimate at a reasonable price. He got the work done quickly and professionally. Very happy with the result and would highly recommend."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Properly installed chimney flashing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years. However, flashing generally only needs to be replaced when it is damaged, corroded, or no longer creates a watertight seal. Several factors influence its longevity, including the material type, quality of installation, and local climate. For example, copper flashing tends to last longer than galvanized steel. Large storms and extreme weather can also damage flashing, potentially requiring earlier replacement. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to have your chimney and roof inspected annually. A professional can assess the flashing's condition and recommend any necessary repairs.

Asphalt shingles blister when air gets trapped between building materials, either within the layers of the shingle itself or in adhesives on the undersides of the shingles. As the roof heats up in direct sunlight, the trapped gas expands and creates a bubble in the roof. Eventually, the bubble can pop, leaving an exposed area of decking and underlayment.

The most crucial roof-strengthening method is achievable by following proper construction methods and guidelines from the start. To strengthen an existing roof, framers and DIYers can add hurricane ties or straps to the structure, sister rafters and other framing or truss members, or install additional fasteners or adhesives where necessary.

Properly maintained roof decking can last between 20 and 30 years on average, though it varies based on a few factors. Mainly, the quality of roof decking materials and environmental conditions have the most impact on longevity. You can extend its lifespan by regularly inspecting your roof and making repairs as necessary.

To cap off a chimney flue, start by measuring its width, length, and diameter, if it’s circular. Purchase a cap that fits the flue, and decide whether you want a temporary or permanent model. Then, slide or insert the cap onto the flue and secure it with a screwdriver. Be sure to avoid over-tightening the screws to prevent chimney damage.
