"Travis is very knowledgeable in his field of work. Answered all my questions. Did an inspection of my chimney. And informed me that the people who installed my chimney liner did not do it by code. Told me what I should do to get everything up to code."

"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

It is a bad idea to try to walk on a roof with snow on it. In fact, you should stay off your roof all year long, even when it is dry and sunny outside. There are too many things that can go wrong, and one misstep can cause serious injury or even death.

Rather, if you need to get something done on your roof, call in a pro. They have the right experience and know-how to get things done safely on a snowy roof, including snow removal.

Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your roof can still suffer hail damage, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.

Most roof leaks occur where shingles meet or where there are sealants or seams in the materials. This is common around skylights and at any point there is a break in the roof such as corners and edges. Roofing materials are incredibly strong and resistant when overlapping, but any change in that can cause gaps where water can enter.

If your roof has a vapor barrier, you will need approximately one square foot of roof vent for every 300 square feet of ceiling space. If there is no vapor barrier, the roof should have one square foot of roof vent for every 150 square feet of ceiling space. If you are not comfortable making this determination, a local roofing professional can help.

Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.
