Certified Level 1-3 CSIA Chimney Inspections

Chimney inspections are critical to maintaining the safety and efficiency of your fireplace and venting system. At Chimney Services Pro, we follow the strict guidelines of the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) to perform Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections. Whether you're conducting a routine check, preparing for real estate transactions, or responding to structural concerns, we tailor our inspections to your specific situation.

Each level of inspection escalates in scope and depth. Our certified technicians use state-of-the-art tools, including video scanning technology, to ensure no detail is missed. From visible components to hidden flue interiors, we uncover potential hazards such as blockages, deterioration, or creosote accumulation that could compromise the integrity of your system.

What Each Inspection Level Covers

Level 1 Inspection is a visual check of all accessible chimney and venting parts—ideal for annual maintenance under consistent appliance use. It includes verifying structural soundness and the absence of blockages or combustibles.

Level 2 Inspection is required during property transfers, post-operational issues, or natural events such as storms or earthquakes. It involves detailed video scanning of the flue and inspection of attic, crawlspace, and roof penetration areas.

Level 3 Inspection is the most in-depth. It’s conducted when hidden hazards are suspected and may involve limited demolition to access concealed components. This ensures a complete safety assessment before major repairs or reconstruction.
