At Texas Chimney, we believe that a cozy fireplace should provide more than just warmth, it should provide peace of mind. We recently completed a comprehensive Fireplace Safety Inspection for a local client, ensuring their system is operating at peak performance and maximum safety.
Our Multi-Step Safety Process
Our expert technicians don’t just “look” at your fireplace; we use industry-leading technology to verify its integrity. For this project, our service included:
-
Comprehensive Visual Audit: We meticulously inspected the fireplace interior, grate, and pilot assembly to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or blockage.
-
Electronic Leak Detection: Using a calibrated TopTES gas leak detector, we performed a sweep of all gas supply lines and manifold connections while the unit was live. This ensures that even the smallest “pinhole” leaks—undetectable by smell alone—are identified and resolved.
-
Combustion & Venting Analysis: We monitored the flame pattern and venting flow to confirm that no carbon monoxide or unburnt gas is escaping into the living space.
The Result: A Certified Pass
After a rigorous round of testing, the system received a Final Status: PASSED. The gas seals are tight, the unit is venting efficiently, and the fireplace is officially cleared for regular use.
As we like to say at Texas Chimney, “We treat your home like our own.” Whether you are starting up your fireplace for the first time this season or haven’t had an inspection in years, our mission is to keep your family safe and warm.
Is Your Fireplace Season-Ready?
Don’t wait for a “rotten egg” smell to call the experts. Ensure your gas lines are tight and your home is protected with a professional inspection.
