Professional Chimney Inspection Services

Chimney inspections are vital to maintaining a safe and functional fireplace system. Whether you use your fireplace daily or seasonally, creosote buildup, animal nests, and hidden cracks can create serious hazards. Our certified inspections follow CSIA guidelines and help homeowners catch issues before they become costly repairs.

We offer all three levels of chimney inspections: Level 1 for routine maintenance, Level 2 for property transfers and after major changes, and Level 3 for suspected structural damage. Our technicians use cameras and hands-on assessments to provide complete visibility into your flue system.

Comprehensive Safety Inspections

During every chimney inspection, our specialists check all components—including chimney caps, dampers, masonry joints, and flue lining. Early detection of moisture damage, cracks, or improper installation helps you avoid chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and expensive restoration work.

We document every inspection with high-resolution imagery and provide you with a digital report outlining any findings or recommendations. This transparency ensures you have full control over your chimney’s condition and next steps.

When to Schedule a Chimney Inspection?

It’s essential to inspect your chimney at least once a year, especially before winter. Schedule inspections when purchasing or selling a home, after a chimney fire or natural disaster, or before installing new heating appliances. If you’ve just moved in or plan to rent out your home, a full inspection provides peace of mind.

Regular inspections extend the life of your chimney system and can prevent minor issues from turning into costly repairs. With proper maintenance and oversight, you ensure efficient heating and better indoor air quality throughout your home.
