Level 1 Inspections
Annual inspections of your fireplace and chimney are required according to the National Fire Protection Agency. In Highland, you can get an inspection performed by a qualified chimney sweep by calling us at Alpha & Omega Services.
Our experts can perform a level 1 inspection on an annual basis. We’ll sweep out the firebox, the venting system, and the smoke chamber. Additionally, we will:
- Clean the chimney cap
- Inspect all readily accessible areas
Level 2 Inspections
A level 2 inspection is required any time you make a change or upgrade to your system. This more thorough inspection is also a great idea if you have just bought your home or have not used your fireplace in several years.
In addition to all that we do during a level 1 inspection, we also:
- Perform an inspection of the attic to see if the chimney or stove pipe has caused any deterioration because of excess heat or water leaks
- Camera scope the venting system to identify gaps or cracks that may cause build-up and result in the unit not operating properly.
Critter Control
It can be frustrating to deal with small mammals such as squirrels and raccoons that can climb into and become stuck in your chimney. Additionally, if you hear a lot of chirping, there may be a nest inside of your chimney. The dark and warm area can be extremely inviting to wildlife – especially if you don’t have a sufficient chimney cap in place.
We’ll talk to you about what caused the problem in the first place and discuss the ways you can prevent the problem in the future. Often, it is because there is damage to your chimney cap, but it can also be as a result of low-lying branches and other issues. With our help, we’ll take care of the problem in the most humane way possible.
