Chimney Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What We Check

We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney exterior, checking the crown, cap, flashing, and masonry for damage or wear. Then we move inside to examine the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber.

Using specialized equipment, we inspect your flue liner for cracks, gaps, or deterioration that could let dangerous gases into your home. We check for creosote buildup, animal nests, or debris that could cause problems.

You’ll get a detailed report explaining what we found, what needs immediate attention, and what you should keep an eye on. No technical jargon or scare tactics – just clear information about your chimney’s condition and what it means for your family’s safety.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections for chimneys that are used regularly. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, you should have it inspected at least once a year. Weather, animals, and time can create problems whether you’re using the fireplace or not. If you’re buying a home or haven’t used your fireplace in several years, definitely get an inspection before lighting any fires. It’s much cheaper than dealing with a house fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney. Inspection examines the entire system for safety issues, damage, or wear. You need both, but they serve different purposes. A cleaning makes your chimney work better and reduces fire risk. An inspection tells you if your chimney is safe to use at all. Many companies do a quick visual check during cleaning and call it an inspection. A real inspection involves specialized equipment and detailed examination of components you can’t see during normal cleaning.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on what type of inspection you need and what we find. A basic Level 1 inspection for a regularly maintained chimney costs less than a Level 2 inspection required for home sales or after chimney fires. We’ll explain exactly what type of inspection you need and why before we start any work. No surprises or hidden fees – you’ll know the cost upfront.
Yes, especially if safety matters to you. CSI certification means we’ve been trained on current safety standards and proper inspection techniques. We know what to look for and how to spot problems that could put your family at risk. Non-certified companies might miss dangerous issues or recommend unnecessary work. Insurance companies often require inspections from certified professionals. When you’re dealing with something that could cause a house fire or carbon monoxide poisoning, certification isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s essential.
We’ll explain exactly what we found, why it’s a problem, and what your options are. Some issues need immediate attention for safety reasons. Others can be planned for future maintenance. We provide written reports with photos so you can see the problems yourself. If repairs are needed, we can handle them in-house with the same experienced team. We offer financing options for larger repairs because we know chimney problems can be unexpected expenses.
We don’t recommend it. Chimneys can develop dangerous problems without obvious signs. Cracks in the flue liner can let carbon monoxide into your home. Damaged crowns or flashing can cause water damage. Creosote buildup increases fire risk. Animals might have built nests that block proper ventilation. You might get lucky and nothing bad happens, but the potential consequences – house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, expensive water damage – aren’t worth the risk. Get it inspected first, then enjoy your fireplace with confidence.
