Your flue is a column two to three stories tall, dark, and mostly narrower than your shoulders. Until scan cameras became standard, its interior condition was professional guesswork. Now it’s footage, and we show it to you on the spot.
How the scan works
A camera head on a rigid-flex rod travels the flue bottom to top (or top down, access depending), lighting and recording the full interior as it goes. On our Level 2 inspections the operator pauses at every joint and anomaly, because the difference between “shadow” and “crack” is worth thirty extra seconds every time.
The five finds that justify the whole exercise
When the camera is required vs. smart
Required: any Level 2 trigger, home sale, new appliance, post-fire, post-storm. Smart even without a trigger: a flue that’s never been scanned in decades of service, unexplained smells or draft changes, or before spending real money on repairs, so you’re fixing the actual problem.
What you get afterwards
Footage, annotated stills of every finding, and a plain-English summary with a fixed quote if repair is warranted, the same documentation standard we apply to everything. If the scan is clean, you get that in writing too, which is worth real money in a sale and real peace of mind otherwise. Schedule a scan.
