Appalachian Chimney Service offers state-of-the-art video chimney scanning services throughout Western North Carolina. Our high-tech inspection cameras identify problems inside your chimney that traditional inspections might miss, giving you complete peace of mind about your chimney's condition.
Why Video Scanning Is Essential
Standard visual inspections can only reveal so much. Our advanced Chim-Scan® video inspection system allows us to:
- Detect hidden damage invisible to the naked eye
- Identify dangerous creosote buildup in hard-to-see areas
- Document the condition of your entire flue system
- Spot early signs of deterioration before they become costly problems
- Verify that cleaning services have been thoroughly completed
- Provide visual documentation for insurance claims or real estate transactions
The Chim-Scan® Advantage
We've invested in the chimney industry's premier inspection technology for good reason. The Chim-Scan® system:
- Provides crystal-clear video imagery of your chimney's interior
- Operates effectively in flues ranging from 3" venting pipe to 13"x18" fireplace flues
- Records detailed documentation of your chimney's condition
- Allows you to see exactly what we see, eliminating guesswork
- Helps us make recommendations based on visual evidence rather than assumptions
When Is Video Scanning Recommended?
While basic Level 1 inspections don't require video scanning, this technology is invaluable in many situations:
- Required for Level 2 inspections (home sales, system changes)
- Before purchasing a new home
- After chimney fires or weather damage
- When experiencing draft problems or smoke issues
- When converting from one fuel type to another
- For documenting chimney condition for insurance purposes
- To verify the effectiveness of cleaning or repairs
Versatile Applications
Our video scanning technology can inspect virtually any chimney system:
- Masonry chimneys
