Our Comprehensive Chimney Inspection Process

At Taunton Chimney Care Pros, we follow a meticulous process during every chimney inspection in Taunton, MA. Our inspections are far more than a quick visual glance. We begin by examining all accessible interior and exterior components of the chimney structure, including the flue, damper, firebox, chimney cap, crown, flashing, and masonry. If any signs of cracking, moisture penetration, or blockages are found, we investigate further using specialized tools such as camera probes and draft test equipment.

We evaluate the chimney’s ventilation system to ensure proper air flow and that combustion byproducts are exiting safely. Our team checks for signs of creosote buildup, which is a highly flammable byproduct of wood burning. We also look for evidence of water intrusion, often caused by damaged flashing, cracked crowns, or a missing chimney cap. In Taunton’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles can wreak havoc on brick and mortar, causing expansion that leads to structural separation or leaks. These vulnerabilities are pinpointed and documented in our inspection report.

After the physical inspection, we offer a full consultation with the homeowner to explain our findings. We use clear, easy-to-understand language and provide photographs if needed. If we identify any repair needs or safety concerns, we offer recommendations and schedule follow-up services as requested. Our goal is to ensure that every chimney inspection we conduct in Taunton, MA results in a safer, more informed homeowner and a chimney system operating at peak efficiency.
