"The inspector was great! He arrived on short notice and was there before I arrived. He completed tasks that were on my to-do list (like bleeding air from the lines).

At BAS Inspections, we understand the importance of a safe and healthy living environment. We use Spectora Inspection Software Reporting on every inspection, ensuring you receive detailed and easy-to-understand reports. See below for a brief synopsis of our offered services: • Comprehensive Home Inspections • Rental Licensing Inspections • Lead Paint Visual Inspections w/ Dust Wipe Sampling • Environmental Testing o Lead o Mold

"Absolutely terrible experience. Once payment was made, the inspector became completely unresponsive. He sent us several non-working links for the inspection report, and we had to reach out multiple times just to get any answers. He even told our tenants there was ?mold,? but when we paid for an actual mold test, it turned out to be a false claim?apparently ?mold in a bathroom fan,? which isn?t even possible since it?s an inorganic surface. The report itself didn?t mention any mold, showing a complete lack of professionalism and knowledge. On top of being overpriced, he then charged us again just to issue the proper rental inspection certificate that should have been included from the start. Extremely unprofessional, unresponsive, and clearly money-hungry. Save yourself the frustration and go with someone else. We wanted to support a local small business, but it completely backfired."

America's Remodeling Group, LLC. was established in 1996. We are a family owned and operated business located in the heart of Harford County. We offer expert home remodeling services..

"Brian and his crew were meticulous and the driveway looks great. My only comment is that at one point there was a slight lack of communication. But that did improve a lot at the end of the project. The cost always seems high no matter what you have done. It was slightly over the estimates given on the website, but not too far out of line."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

No—though they are related. A flue is a pipe that runs the length of your chimney and carries smoke outside when a fire is burning. The damper is a metal plate that helps control airflow to the firebox, depending on whether it’s open or closed.

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. 

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

A chimney without a liner is not recommended. Chimney liners protect the surrounding structure from heat, reducing the risk of fire or structural damage. Just as important, liners prevent carbon monoxide and other toxic gases from leaking into your abode by guiding smoke and gases out more effectively. Remember, installing a liner ensures safety and extends the life of your chimney.

Even if you aren’t using a home chimney anymore, you need to vent it at the top and bottom to allow for continuous airflow. A blocked-up chimney is still a chimney, so it requires annual maintenance and a professional inspection to ensure its structural integrity is intact. Consult a chimney professional about the ideal timing for venting an unused chimney.
