Chimney Inspection and Cleaning

Most masonry chimneys were not designed to handle the venting requirements of modern high-efficiency heating appliances burning liquid propane, natural gas, oil, wood, pellet, or coal.  These improperly lined chimneys can cause a number of costly structural and cosmetic problems for the homeowner, and also create potentially serious safety hazards.

In 1996 there were 23,000 residential fires related to chimneys and solid fuel appliances in the United States.  Each year there are thousands of cases of Carbon Monoxide poisoning due to improperly lined chimneys.












 
Condensation Leakage
The condensation has migrated through the chimney causing staining damage to home interior and chimney exterior.

Chimney Structure Disintegrating
This has been caused by acidic moisture in the flue.

Your chimney is constantly exposed to weather. This appears as water in one form or another - usually rain or snow. Not only can water do serious damage in your house if it gets inside, it can literally break your chimney apart through the freeze-thaw cycle during the winter. The use of Chimney Saver ® water repellent extends the life of your chimney, and is used exclusively by All American Chimney.















 
Improper Chimney Draft
Caused by flues which are not properly sized for the heating appliance.

Improper Clearance
There is not enough clearance to the wood framing of the home.

Cracked or Missing Flue Tiles
This can lead to Carbon Monoxide leakage and a higher risk to the home from a chimney fire.

All American Chimney's Inspections will determine your chimney's integrity - and let you know whether or not your installation and chimney system meets current safety standards.












 
Unlined Chimney or Damaged Chimney Structure
This can lead to Carbon Monoxide leakage and a higher risk to the home from a chimney fire.

Down drafting or Smoking Chimney
Caused by unsteady draft of an improperly lined flue.
