Derwentside Sweeps provide CCTV Chimney Inspections; the equipment can be used to detect flue blockages, birds’ nests, liner problems and can be used after a sweep is completed to check the condition of the flue or chimney. Videos can be seen live on screen if required. Written reports will be given for insurance purposes.
The Power of a CCTV Chimney Inspection
Did you know that a lot of chimney problems go undetected because they're hidden from view? That's where a CCTV chimney inspection comes in. Our state-of-the-art camera equipment gives us a clear, detailed look inside your flue, helping us to identify issues that would be impossible to see otherwise.
What Can a CCTV Inspection Find?
Our CCTV inspections are a great way to get a full picture of your chimney's health. We can use the camera to detect a range of common problems, including:
Flue blockages: We can easily spot obstructions like fallen debris or creosote build-up, which can be a serious fire hazard.
Bird's nests: Birds love to build nests inside chimneys. They can cause major blockages that prevent smoke from escaping safely.
Liner problems: If your chimney has a liner, we can check for cracks, gaps, or other damage that could be compromising its function.
A CCTV inspection is also an excellent way to check the condition of your flue after a chimney sweep has been completed. This provides peace of mind that the sweep was thorough and effective.
Why is a Professional Report Important?
When we perform an inspection, you'll have the option to view the video live on screen. You'll also be given a written report for your records. This report is crucial for insurance purposes, providing clear evidence of your chimney's condition. This can be invaluable if you ever need to make a claim or if you're buying or selling a property.
A CCTV chimney inspection is a small investment that can provide huge peace of mind.
