Whether you're a buyer, a seller, or a current homeowner, a quality home inspection gives you a critical snapshot of a home's condition. A professional inspection will help buyers understand the current condition of the home they are about to purchase and sellers determine what to upgrade or repair prior to listing. Longtime homeowners should consider an inspection every 10 years or so to keep on top of potential problems and ongoing maintenance. Dogwood Home Inspection Services will perform a detailed non-invasive inspection of the home's structure, exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, interior, ventilation, appliances and fireplaces. From this inspection, we'll generate a comprehensive report with photos, and carefully review our findings with you. We want to be sure you clearly understand where either minor or major repairs or upgrades are required or recommended, and ensure that you know what will be required to maintain the systems we inspect.

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it’s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home’s levels. 

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Soapstone wood stoves hold onto heat the longest, which means you can burn less fuel and enjoy the warmth for longer. Additionally, catalytic wood stoves include a catalytic combustor that can reduce emissions and create a cleaner burn no matter what the stove is made of. Of course, the most efficient wood stoves also tend to be costlier up front—but they can still save you money in the long run.

It’s possible to clean your chimney by accessing it from the opening above your fireplace, but be aware that this method is messier because you will be pulling loose buildup of soot, ash, and creosote into your fireplace instead of up, out, and onto the roof. While the bottom-up method can cause more of a mess, it’s a good option if you’re not comfortable getting on the roof.

Yes, you should seal an unused chimney. Even if it’s not in use, the structure is still susceptible to moisture damage, which can lead to problems like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. But you should also cap the chimney to prevent blockages while still allowing for air ventilation (which also prevents moisture damage). Also, continue to get an annual chimney inspection to prevent other issues with the structure.
