"Simply put, hiring Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC was one of the most important decisions we made in getting our roof damage resolved. We are responsible homeowners with a strong track record of maintaining our house and property, as well as making sure we have proper insurance coverage. But when weather damaged our roof and our insurance provider denied our claim, we found ourselves in uncharted territory. The process with the insurance provider was daunting, confusing, lengthy, stressful, and not transparent. We were kept at arms length and passed through multiple reviewers. They sent a third-party engineer who showed up unannounced, spent very little time inspecting the damage, and then submitted a report that had numerous factual errors. That report then became a baseline for the insurance company! We were buried in red tape and going in circles. Wayne was able to quickly step in and, using his extensive expertise and knowledge of the regulations and insurance process, got right to the point. As a respected, experienced adjuster, his analysis and steadfast conclusions carried weight. In what could have been a disputed claim that may have taken years to resolve, he cut through the red tape and was able to resolve the matter in our favor within months. In a world where home owners are kept at arms length and treated with skepticism, Wayne was treated with respect as a knowledgeable expert whose views were grounded in experience. When he spoke, people listened. Wayne was very candid and responsive to us. He kept us out of the process details and acted as our representative, while keeping us appropriately informed. He made the process much less stressful! He got the right people to listen and move forward with the right decision. Again, one of the best decisions we’ve made. We highly recommend Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC without reservation."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Chimney crowns may be stone, concrete, or metal but most crowns are made of concrete. It’s not recommended to build chimney crowns with mortar (which is different from concrete) due to it’s weaker composition (especially when exposed to the outside elements). Most chimney crowns are custom made to fit your home’s specific chimney.

No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces require maintenance, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.

The best way to clean fireplace bricks is to use a mild solution on saturated bricks. An equal mixture of water and vinegar or a drop of dish soap in a bowl of water can help remove grime from fireplace bricks. Make sure you wet the bricks thoroughly before applying the cleaner and rinse them after you’re done to prevent damage.

While chimney caps are an essential component of maintaining a safe, long-lasting chimney, they have disadvantages, too. The mesh of the chimney cap clogs easily with creosote, making it more difficult for the necessary oxygen to reach the fire. Chimney caps also develop discoloration and rust stains over time, causing damage to interior chimney walls.
