Inspections
During this service a technician will scan the inside of your fireplace using a camera.

Tuck Pointing
Tuckpointing is a technique used in masonry that involves filling gaps between mortar and brick on a masonry chimney and walls by coordinating the color of the mortar to match the brick. This is done by the technician to prevent cracks and water damage to the bricks.
Cap Installation
The technician will determine the size of your flue tile and fit it with a stainless steel cap preventing deterioration to the interior liner.
Relining
Relining your chimney becomes essential because liners channel heat and gases up through the chimney top and block the heat from causing combustible materials around the chimney from catching fire. If your chimney needs to be relined it’s most likely due to deterioration inside your chimney causing your chimney to become hazardous. An example of this may be if your liner is cracked or crumbling. If this happens, you need to get your chimney relined before using your fireplace. If this needs to be done the technician will scan your chimney and show the customer the deterioration.
Water Leaks
The technician will determine where the leak is coming from and decide the best method for finding a cure.
