CSIA-certified Level 1 and Level 2 diagnostic examinations utilizing 360-degree optical cameras to uncover invisible flue fractures, thermal voids, and clearance hazards.
“Over 80% of dangerous flue fractures and mortar voids cannot be seen from the hearth. High-definition camera diagnostics eliminate all guesswork.”
Whether evaluating a newly purchased estate, addressing a draft malfunction, or conducting mandatory annual safety reviews, our video camera systems travel the entire internal length of the flue.
We examine flue tile joints, combustible clearance zones, smoke chambers, and structural crown slabs, providing clients with timestamped digital footage and prioritized recommendations.
Level 1 covers readily accessible areas. Level 2 is required by NFPA 211 upon real estate transfer, weather events, or flue malfunctions, including complete internal optical scans.
Exterior masonry assessment, crown integrity check, and flashing inspection from roofline.
360-degree high-definition camera descends the flue, recording tile condition and mortar joints.
