Inspection & status

För att inte bli överraskad av skorstenens kondition bör man göra en besiktning kontinuerligt. Då kan man klara sig från en mer genomgående renovering. Det kan man tjäna många underhållskronor på.

According to the PBL (Planning and Building Act), the property owner is responsible for the maintenance of the chimney (building). The inspections are recurring, with intervals of 1-2 years according to Swedish Standard SS-EN 13084-1: 2007. Inspections (status checks) increase from year to year. The inspection takes place with our own experienced inspectors.

On these occasions, inspect the chimney:

At any time when you want to change the system so that you can assume that the chimney's function changes. Then you can prevent a rapid breakdown of the chimney.
Status checks - continuous follow-up of the development of degradation.
