Reasons to Have Your Chimney Inspected By A Vista Masonry chimney inspector:

Wood burning fireplaces, once an integral part of the home heating process, have increasingly begun to be replaced by environmentally savvy homeowners opting for the energy efficiency offered by installing gas or electric inserts. Unfortunately once a wood burning fireplace has been transitioned into a modern amenity the associated chimney is often left without much in the way of maintenance foresight. The primary consequence of this is leaving modern day chimneys dormant, neglected and susceptible to the leakage of moisture into the house through the chimney. This moisture intrusion, if left unchecked, can lead to major and costly repercussions both inside the chimney and inside your home. Vista Masonry’s WETT certified inspectors will check your chimney and fireplace for the following

  • Rusted damper assemblies
  • Deteriorated metal or masonry firebox assemblies
  • Rusted fireplace accessories and glass doors
  • Rotting adjacent wood and ruined wall coverings
  • Water stained walls and ceiling
  • Clogged clean out area
  • Deteriorated central heating system
  • Stained chimney exterior
  • Decayed exterior mortar
  • Cracked or deteriorated flue lining system
  • Collapsed hearth support
  • Tilted or collapsed chimney structure
