Hurricanes, Tropical Storms and Chimneys Inspections

When Hurricane Season starts we want to bring your attention to the importance of having your chimney inspected after a hurricane. 5 Star Clean Inc. can repair and replace caps or top pans damaged by falling trees or branches as well as repair damage to the chimney itself. The severe wind combined with the saturated ground can cause a chimney to rotate away from a building where the chimney and roof meet. Even if there’s no visible exterior damage, it’s vital to have a level II inspection of the chimney to ensure there are no internal cracks that could allow noxious gasses.

Even if there’s no visible exterior damage, it’s vital to have a level II inspection of the chimney to ensure there are no internal cracks that could allow noxious gasses (such as CO2) to be released into your home instead of up the chimney. A level II inspection includes a visual inspection of all accessible areas of the chimney, as well as inspection via video equipment of the interior of the flue liner(s) within the chimney.

5 Star Clean is a locally owned and operated Chimney and Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Central Florida. We are CSIA Certified #6454 – Chimney and belong to the National Chimney Sweep Guild. We take pride in our work.
