Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways.
