At United Chimney, we specialize in providing thorough and reliable commercial chimney inspections across New York City and the tri-state area.
Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art technology to assess the condition of your venting systems, ensuring they are safe, efficient, and in compliance with industry standards.
Why Choose United Chimney for Your Chimney Inspection?
Routine chimney inspections are critical for identifying potential hazards and preventing costly repairs. United Chimney offers comprehensive inspections that include:
- Video Scans: Our high-definition video cameras provide a detailed view of your chimney’s interior, allowing us to spot issues that are invisible to the naked eye. This includes creosote buildup, obstructions, structural damage, and more.
- Draft & Pressure Testing: Ensuring proper airflow is essential for efficient venting. Our draft and pressure tests verify that your system is functioning as it should, preventing blockages or dangerous backdrafts.
The Benefits of Regular Chimney Inspections
Routine inspections offer a range of benefits that protect your property, your staff, and your customers. These include:
- Fire Prevention: Creosote buildup is a leading cause of chimney fires. Our inspections help detect and address this flammable residue before it becomes a danger.
- Early Detection of Obstructions: Whether it’s birds’ nests, storm debris, or deteriorating masonry, obstructions in your chimney system can prevent proper ventilation. A video scan ensures these blockages are identified and removed quickly.
- Cost Savings on Repairs: Regular inspections allow us to catch small issues, like minor cracks or loose components, before they escalate into expensive repairs or system replacements.
- Improved System Efficiency: A clean and well-maintained chimney functions more efficiently, saving you on fuel costs while enhancing indoor air quality.
Specialized in Large Commercial Systems
While United Chimney also services residential properties, our primary focus is on large-scale commercial and multi-story buildings. We excel at inspecting venting systems in buildings with multiple fireplaces, such as hotels, restaurants, and outdoor areas with large custom fireplaces. Our inspections follow the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines to ensure your systems meet the highest safety standards.
When to Schedule a Chimney Inspection
The NFPA recommends annual inspections of chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems. In addition to yearly inspections, you should schedule an inspection if:
- Your building has experienced a chimney fire
- The chimney has been struck by lightning
- You’ve experienced an earthquake or other natural disaster
- You are planning to modify or upgrade your venting system
By scheduling an inspection with United Chimney, you’re ensuring the safety and long-term health of your venting systems.
