Comprehensive Chimney Inspection Services You Can Trust
A Level 1 Chimney Inspection is the standard inspection for chimneys that are regularly maintained and have not undergone any changes. Our certified technicians perform a visual assessment of all readily accessible parts of your chimney—both inside and out. We check for signs of soot buildup, blockages, or structural damage to ensure your system is safe and efficient. This inspection is ideal for annual maintenance or property transfers.
A Level 2 Chimney Inspection offers a more in-depth evaluation and is recommended when you’ve made changes to your heating system, experienced a chimney fire, or are buying or selling a home. This inspection includes everything in Level 1, plus a video scan of the flue interior for hidden damage or deterioration. Our experts provide a detailed report outlining the condition of your chimney and any recommended repairs or cleaning.
A Level 3 Chimney Inspection is the most detailed and thorough inspection we offer. It’s typically performed when serious hazards are suspected, or when structural damage has occurred due to fire, weather, or impact. This inspection may involve removing certain components of the chimney or surrounding structure to access concealed areas. Our goal is to ensure your chimney system is completely safe, code-compliant, and fully functional before use.
Preparing For A Chimney Inspection
Essential Care Guidelines
To ensure a smooth and efficient chimney inspection service, here are a few tips to get you prepared:
- Clear any obstructions or debris from around your fireplace and chimney.
- Keep pets and children away from the work area during the inspection.
- Make sure there is access to the attic and roof for our technicians.
- Inform our team of any prior issues or concerns with your chimney.
- Ensure there is a clear path to the fireplace and chimney for our technicians to work efficiently.
- Schedule the inspection during a time when you will be available to answer any questions and address any concerns our technicians may have.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A chimney inspection is essential for ensuring your home’s safety and the efficient operation of your fireplace or heating system. Over time, chimneys can accumulate creosote, soot, debris, and even hidden structural damage that may lead to fire hazards or poor ventilation. Experts recommend scheduling a professional chimney inspection at least once a year, preferably before the colder seasons when the fireplace is used most frequently.
Chimney inspections typically come in three levels.
Level 1 includes a basic visual check of all accessible areas and is suited for routine annual maintenance.
Level 2 involves a more detailed camera inspection inside the flue, recommended when buying/selling a home or after a major weather event.
Level 3 is the most extensive and may require dismantling portions of the chimney if serious issues are suspected. Your technician will advise the appropriate level based on your chimney’s condition and history.
If you notice unusual smells, excessive smoke, poor fireplace performance, water leaks, animals or debris inside the chimney, or visible cracks in the masonry, you should schedule an inspection immediately. These symptoms often point to blockages, damaged liners, or creosote buildup, all of which pose serious safety risks if ignored.
During an inspection, a trained technician will examine the firebox, flue, chimney liner, smoke chamber, and exterior masonry. They will check for blockages, cracks, loose bricks, creosote buildup, and signs of water damage or structural issues. Depending on the level of inspection, special tools like cameras may be used to assess hidden areas. You’ll receive a detailed report of findings and recommendations for cleaning or repairs.
Yes, professional chimney inspections play a crucial role in preventing both fires and carbon monoxide leaks. Creosote buildup, blockages, and damaged liners can cause chimney fires or allow harmful gases to enter your home unknowingly. Early detection through inspection ensures your chimney is operating safely, reducing the risk of dangerous incidents and protecting your family and property.
