How often should I have my chimney inspected by a certified professional?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, especially if you use your fireplace regularly. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, you should have it inspected every 2-3 years to check for structural issues, animal intrusion, or deterioration. If you burn more than a cord of wood per year, or if you’ve had any chimney work done recently, annual inspections are essential. Weather, age, and usage all affect your chimney’s condition, so regular professional evaluation helps catch problems before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards.
CSI certification means your inspector has completed rigorous training through the Chimney Safety Institute of America and stays current with industry standards and safety protocols. CSI certified inspectors know how to properly evaluate all types of chimney systems, recognize subtle signs of problems, and understand current building codes and safety requirements. Non-certified inspectors might miss critical issues or provide inaccurate assessments. When dealing with something as important as fire and carbon monoxide safety, you want someone with proven expertise. Insurance companies also tend to give more weight to inspections performed by certified professionals.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost varies depending on your chimney’s complexity, accessibility, and what level of inspection is needed. A basic visual inspection costs less than a comprehensive evaluation with camera work. However, trying to save money with an inadequate inspection often costs more in the long run if problems are missed. We’re upfront about pricing and explain exactly what you’re getting for your investment. Most homeowners find that professional inspection costs are minimal compared to the potential cost of chimney fires, carbon monoxide issues, or major structural repairs.
We provide a detailed report explaining any issues we find, prioritized by safety and urgency. Not everything needs immediate attention – we’ll clearly distinguish between safety hazards that require prompt action and maintenance items that can be planned for later. You’re never pressured to have us do the work; we simply provide honest recommendations and let you decide how to proceed. If repairs are needed, we can handle them or you’re free to get other quotes. Our goal is to ensure you have accurate information to make informed decisions about your chimney’s safety and maintenance.
Absolutely. We’re experienced with all types of heating appliances including wood stoves, pellet stoves, gas fireplaces, and traditional masonry fireplaces. Each system has different inspection requirements and potential issues. Gas appliances need checking for proper venting and gas leaks, while wood-burning systems require evaluation for creosote buildup and structural integrity. Since we also install and service these systems through our retail operation, we understand how they work and what commonly goes wrong. Whether you have a vintage wood stove or a modern gas insert, we know what to look for.
Yes, even unused chimneys can develop serious problems. Animals often nest in unused chimneys, masonry can deteriorate from weather exposure, and structural issues can develop over time. Water damage is actually more common in unused chimneys because minor maintenance gets ignored. If you ever plan to use your fireplace again, or if you’re selling your home, you’ll need to know its condition. Many insurance companies also require periodic inspections regardless of usage. An unused chimney with hidden problems can still pose risks to your home’s structure and safety, so professional evaluation is important even for dormant systems.
