Gladwin County
Chimney Service in Gladwin County
Gladwin County sits in the central Lower Peninsula with Gladwin as the county seat and the Wixom and Secord lake impoundments along the Tittabawassee system to the north. It is rural, wooded, and heavily oriented toward seasonal and recreational property.
The 2020 dam failures on this river system displaced a great deal of property here, and a significant amount of the housing stock has been repaired, rebuilt or resold since. Work done under those conditions varied considerably in quality.
Verifying Post-Rebuild Chimney Work in Gladwin County
If your property was rebuilt or substantially repaired after flooding, the chimney and its flue are worth verifying independently of the rest of the work. Water-damaged masonry that was dried and reused can look sound while having lost mortar strength, and appliance reconnections made during a rebuild are not always documented.
A camera inspection settles it. It is a small cost relative to the rebuild and it either confirms the work was done properly or catches something while it is still cheap to correct.
