Chimney Inspection, Delaware CountyChimney Inspections by Your Local Crew in Delaware County, PA
Delaware County packs houses from almost every era into a small area, and chimneys age the way the houses do. Older flues may still have their original clay tiles or none at all, and many fireplaces were closed off while the chimney kept venting a boiler. NFPA 211 calls for a yearly inspection of chimneys, fireplaces and vents. We check the cap, crown, masonry and flashing outside, then the flue, damper, smoke chamber and appliance connection inside, and give you a written summary with any repair priced upfront.

Chimney Inspection for Delaware County Homes
Much of Swarthmore's housing dates from the Victorian period through the 1920s. Chimneys that old may still have their first clay liners or no liner at all, and a yearly inspection is how you find out before it becomes a problem.
A 1940 state guide noted that nearly all of Media's houses had been built after the Civil War, set back on shaded lawns. Those chimneys have now seen more than a century of heating seasons, so an inspection there looks closely at the flue lining and the top of the stack.
Our crew inspects chimneys in Swarthmore, Media, Radnor, Haverford, Springfield and Chester.
