About This Service
Explain the inspection boundary
The visit should make clear which components and areas are being assessed. A visible condition check, an internal examination and investigation that needs additional access are different scopes. We describe the agreed task and explain a limitation rather than imply complete access where none exists.
Separate cosmetic damage from service scope
A damaged finish and a defect in the operating system are different concerns, even when they appear together. We explain which findings concern the chimney or fireplace and which restoration tasks need their own scope. This helps avoid ordering finish work before the relevant condition is understood.
Assess a long-idle fireplace on its present condition
A fireplace's appearance or the time since it was last lit cannot by itself establish readiness for use. Share what is known about the idle period and any earlier concerns. Twin assesses the actual installation and explains any maintenance or further investigation proposed.
Assess the Chimney Cap Attachment
A loose cap raises a question about the component and the area that supports it. A replacement recommendation should consider both. Leave the cap in place if still attached and keep away from loose material; the inspection plan should address access without requiring the homeowner to retrieve a part from the roof.
