    In a Level 1 inspection, your chimney service technician should examine the readily accessible** portions of the chimney exterior, interior and accessible* portions of the appliance and the chimney connection. Your technician will be looking for the basic soundness of the chimney structure and flue as well as the basic appliance installation and connections. The technician will also verify the chimney is free of obstruction and combustible deposits.

     Who needs this service? Almost everyone with a dryer! Especially those homes with dryers located on inside walls, or those located on second floor laundry rooms. These centralized locations cause dryers to be vented greater distances, up to or over 50 feet. Resulting in lint buildup and other obstructions which can seriously affect the performance of dryers. Most of the dryer manufactures recommend the yearly delinting of dryer vents, for the dryer to work at it’s maximum efficiency.
