If you use your fireplace and chimney on any kind of regular basis, professional chimney inspections should be on your maintenance schedule. A quality inspection can uncover early signs of damage and help get to the root of fireplace drafting issues and smoke backups.
Getting regular chimney inspections—at least once a year—allows you to ensure your chimney is functioning properly and that there are no serious issues. But if you’ve never gotten a chimney inspection before, it can seem a little daunting.
Luckily, Flue Pros Chimney, will help demystify the process and get you well on your way to nights with hot cocoa by the fire.
Homeowners who have their chimneys inspected regularly stay on top of issues with the masonry, chimney crown, chimney flashing, chimney cap and other components.
A thorough flue inspection often turns up any issues found through the system that could be causing these types of issues.
According to the latest statistics available, there are over 25,000 Chimney Fires per year in the US. Despite this, many homeowners don’t even realize it until they have a chimney inspection.

Clay flue tiles are rated to withstand significant temperatures. However, some chimney fires burn at over 2,000 degrees, which is too hot for tile and can cause damage like cracking. Any breach in your flue liner is a major concern. It can increase your chance for near-by combustibles in your home’s construction to catch fire. Every crack in the tile will allow the next fire a new pathway to escape the flue, potentially causing a house fire.
