"I asked Buster to take a look at our flue for our water heater to determine if the flue needed a liner in the chimney. Buster was quickly able to determine that we already had a liner. He was honest, punctual and fast. I really appreciated his help. I will hire him if we need any chimney work in the future."

"Cleaned and inspected chimney . They are coming back for repairs. They are professional and have good communication. The only reason I'm giving them 4 and 1/2 stars is because I haven't seen the repair work yet. So far they are a good company to work with."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap.

The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between 4/12 and 6/12, or 50%. A roof with a slope of less than 10%, or roughly a 2/12 pitch, won’t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground.

Roof inspections can be dangerous, especially if you aren’t used to working at heights or lack proper safety equipment. Professional contractors have the right tools and gear to conduct inspections safely. Inspectors systematically approach roof inspections, ensuring that every aspect of your roof is thoroughly examined. 

Remember, DIY inspections are not a substitute for professional assessments. If you notice any issues or are unsure about the condition of your roof, it’s always best to consult a professional roofing contractor near you.

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.

Take a look at your roof shingles from the ground or from a ladder, and look for cracked or missing shingles, which are the most obvious signs of roof damage. You should also look for pockmarks from hail and blown debris, as well as blisters that could indicate a moisture issue or a problem with the installation. Inside your home, be on the lookout for water spots on the ceilings on your upper floor, as this is a clear sign of a roof leak.
