You’re not looking for someone to just glance up your chimney and call it good. You want to know if your family is actually safe when you light that fire.

A real chimney inspection catches the problems that cause house fires and carbon monoxide issues. Cracked flue liners, damaged crowns, blocked vents, creosote buildup—the stuff you can’t see but that puts your family at risk.

When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what’s working, what needs attention, and what can wait. No surprises. No guessing. Just the facts about your chimney’s condition so you can make smart decisions about your home’s safety.

Chimney Inspection Process Clayville

Here's Exactly What We Check

We start with a thorough visual inspection of your chimney’s exterior—crown, cap, flashing, and masonry. Then we move inside to examine the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber.

The real work happens when we inspect your flue liner with specialized equipment. This is where most problems hide—cracks, gaps, or deterioration that can let deadly gases into your home.

We document everything we find and explain it in plain English. You’ll get a clear report of your chimney’s condition, what needs immediate attention, and what you can plan for down the road. No technical jargon, no pressure—just honest information so you can make the right choice for your home.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s what we follow. Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, animals, weather, and settling can create problems throughout the year. If you burn wood regularly, you definitely need annual inspection and cleaning because creosote buildup happens faster than most people realize. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards.

What's the difference between a regular inspection and a certified inspection?

A certified inspection is performed by technicians trained and certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. We know exactly what to look for and how to spot problems that uncertified contractors often miss. CSI certification means we follow industry standards for safety and thoroughness. Regular handymen or general contractors might miss critical issues like flue liner damage or improper clearances that could put your family at risk. When it comes to something as important as fire and carbon monoxide safety, certification matters.

How much does a chimney inspection cost in Clayville?

We provide free estimates for all our inspection services, so you’ll know the exact cost upfront with no surprises. The investment in a professional inspection is small compared to the cost of fire damage or major repairs that could have been prevented. We also offer in-house financing if you need repair work done. The price varies depending on your chimney type and what level of inspection is needed, but we’ll explain everything clearly before we start any work.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

We’ll explain exactly what we found, why it’s a concern, and what your options are. Some issues need immediate attention for safety reasons, while others can be planned for future maintenance. We never pressure you into unnecessary work—we give you the facts and let you decide. If repairs are needed, we can handle them right away since we’re a full-service chimney company. You’ll get honest recommendations based on your safety and your budget, not our sales goals.

Can you inspect chimneys for wood stoves and gas fireplaces?

Yes, we inspect and service all types of chimney systems—wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and gas stoves. Each system has different requirements and potential problems, which is why our CSI certification and 20+ years of experience matter. We also have a retail stove store, so we understand these systems inside and out. Whether you’re burning wood, gas, or pellets, we know what to look for to keep your system safe and efficient.

Do you only do inspections or can you handle repairs too?

We’re a complete chimney service company. Inspection is just one part of what we do. We handle repairs, restoration, liner installation, chimney cap and crown work, and all types of stove installation and service. Having one company that can inspect your system and fix any problems saves you time and ensures consistent quality. We’ve been doing all aspects of chimney work since 2000, so we have the experience to handle whatever your chimney needs.
