What it is
A chimney fire can crack liner tiles and damage the masonry without anyone noticing more than a loud roar. Lightning can blow bricks off the top of a chimney or crack it from the inside. Hail and high winds dent caps, tear flashing and loosen crowns. In every case the damage that matters most is often out of sight, which is why a Level 2 inspection with a camera is the standard after these events.
Signs you need it
- A loud roaring or popping sound from the chimney, or dense smoke and sparks from the top
- Puffy, honeycombed creosote or flakes in the firebox after a fire
- Bricks, mortar or pieces of the crown on the roof or ground
- A dented or missing cap, or bent flashing after a storm
- A lightning strike on or near the house
