Video Scanning
The inspection procedure involves:

1.    Sweeping the flue in order to remove soot and creosote and other obstructions.

2.    Insert camera into flue and completely examine all sides of the flue from top
to bottom with the camera only centimeters from the flue surface.

3.    Everything the camera sees is shown on the monitor and photos are taken    
of all damaged and questionable areas.

4.    A written report is prepared, including all photos, detailing the results of
the inspection.

Accurate information is important for making decisions about a chimney.

If you are a homeowner installing a stove or if you are considering re-lining your
