We inspected a home with a wood stove system that looked functional, but it’s far from it.
The setup doesn’t meet basic safety codes or current real estate standards, which means it can’t be legally used or sold as-is.
What we found:
Major structural deficiencies
Missing safety components
Improper venting putting serious risk on anyone living there
Before this system can be used safely, repairs and upgrades are not optional - they’re mandatory.
If you have an older stove or haven’t had your flue system inspected recently, don’t assume it’s fine.
Let Newtown Chimney Boys take a look and keep your home protected.
