Industrial chimneys and smokestacks require binocular inspections at least four times a year. These inspections are crucial for identifying damage, deterioration, cracks, and broken lightning rod down leads. Additionally, the chimney cap and other attachments, such as ladders and platforms, should be inspected using binoculars.

Ground observation is a crucial aspect of chimney inspection. Examining the area surrounding the chimney’s base can reveal any damage caused by weather or lightning strikes.

Grounding systems for lightning cables should undergo regular testing to ensure their functionality. While some systems, such as those directly attached to water pipes or other grounding points, may not require testing, they should still be inspected regularly.

Inspections should include a thorough check of the breaching to ensure flue gas is not entering the annual space. When condensation infiltrates the chimney, it can lead to the accumulation of water inside the chimney, causing extensive damage to the structure’s base. This highlights the critical importance of including breaching leak inspection in every inspection.
