Smoke Sound Testing (pressure test)
This is a test that will fully ascertain the health of your flue or liner and establish if it is sound (sealed Unit) and fit for use. It is important to reveal any cracks and leaks that may result in harmful gases and carbon monoxide leaking in to the house. The chimney should have adequate draught to ensure the safe removal of smoke. This is a thorough procedure which requires access to all rooms & loft space that the flue passes through.
Smoke Draw test
After every sweep a smoke draw test is required to ensure smoke is evacuating the appliance up the flue adequately & any pipe work is not leaking causing any dangerous gases re-entering the home, a smoke visual inspection is also checked on the chimney to ensure smoke exits the chimney pot & not the chimney stack or roof space.
