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 for cracks, rust, or deterioration.

The real work happens when we inspect your chimney liner and flue. We use proper equipment to check for blockages, creosote buildup, and structural issues that could create safety hazards. We’re looking for anything that could let heat, smoke, or carbon monoxide escape where it shouldn’t.

You get a clear report of what we found, what needs immediate attention, and what you should plan for down the road. No technical jargon, no scare tactics—just straight information about your chimney’s condition so you can make informed decisions about your home’s safety.

More Than Inspection—Full Chimney Solutions

Your chimney inspection includes checking all the components that keep your fireplace system safe and functional. We examine the chimney structure, flue liner, damper operation, and ventilation systems that most homeowners never think about until something goes wrong.

Weekapaug’s coastal environment creates unique challenges for chimney systems. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, and temperature swings can crack masonry faster than inland areas. We know what to look for because we’ve been dealing with these local conditions for decades.

When we find issues, we can handle the repairs in-house instead of referring you somewhere else. From simple maintenance to complete fireplace restoration, we’ve got the experience and equipment to fix what needs fixing. We also offer in-house financing because we understand that chimney repairs aren’t usually planned expenses.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s good advice for most homeowners. If you use your fireplace regularly during heating season, annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, you should have it inspected before lighting any fires—animals, debris, or deterioration can create dangerous conditions. In Weekapaug’s coastal environment, we often recommend annual inspections because salt air accelerates wear on metal components like dampers and flashing.
Level 1 inspections cover the readily accessible portions of your chimney and are appropriate for systems in regular use with no changes. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of the flue interior and are required when selling a home, after chimney fires, or when installing new appliances. Level 3 inspections involve removing chimney components and are only needed when serious hazards are suspected. Most homeowners need Level 1 inspections for routine maintenance, but we’ll recommend Level 2 if we spot potential problems that need closer examination.
We provide free estimates for all our chimney services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney type, accessibility, and what level of inspection you need. A basic Level 1 inspection costs less than a Level 2 inspection with video equipment. We don’t advertise specific prices because every chimney situation is different, but we’re always upfront about costs before starting any work. Our goal is to give you accurate information about your chimney’s condition without surprise charges.
We give you a clear report explaining what we found, what needs immediate attention for safety, and what you can plan for later. We don’t use scare tactics or pressure you into expensive repairs. Some issues like minor mortar repairs can wait, while others like damaged flue liners need prompt attention. We can handle most repairs in-house, and we offer financing options for larger projects. You’ll always know your options and can make informed decisions about your chimney maintenance.
Yes, we inspect and service all types of chimney systems—wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stoves. Each system has different requirements and potential problems. Gas appliances still need proper venting and can develop carbon monoxide issues if the chimney isn’t working correctly. Wood stoves create different creosote patterns than open fireplaces. We have experience with all these systems and know what to look for. We also have a retail stove store, so we understand how different appliances affect chimney performance.
Absolutely. Unused chimneys can actually develop more problems than active ones because issues go unnoticed longer. Animals build nests, debris accumulates, and water damage progresses without anyone realizing it. The chimney structure can deteriorate and create safety hazards even when you’re not burning fires. If you ever decide to use your fireplace again, you need to know it’s safe first. Many insurance companies also require periodic inspections regardless of use. It’s much better to catch problems early than discover them during an emergency.
