Our Chimney Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney system, inside and out. That means checking the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, and chimney crown. We also examine the exterior for cracks, loose mortar, or damaged components.

Next, we test for proper ventilation and check that smoke and gases are exiting safely. We look for blockages, buildup, or structural issues that could create dangerous conditions. Everything gets documented with photos so you can see what we’re talking about.

You get a detailed report explaining our findings in straightforward terms. If we find problems, we explain what needs to be fixed, why it matters for your safety, and what it’ll cost. If your chimney’s in good shape, we’ll tell you that too. No sales pressure, just honest assessment from certified professionals.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for most homeowners. If you use your fireplace regularly during winter months, once a year is essential. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, you should have it inspected annually because animals, weather, and time can create safety hazards whether you’re burning fires or not. If you’ve had recent storms, noticed strange smells, or see visible damage to your chimney exterior, don’t wait for your annual inspection. Problems don’t improve on their own, and early detection saves money and prevents dangerous situations.
Certified chimney inspectors have specialized training through organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). We understand chimney systems, fire safety codes, and proper installation standards that general contractors typically don’t know. A regular contractor might spot obvious problems, but certified inspectors know how to identify subtle issues that could become serious safety hazards. We also stay current on industry standards and best practices through continuing education. When your family’s safety depends on proper chimney function, you want someone who specializes in these systems, not someone who does a little bit of everything.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney type, accessibility, and the level of inspection needed. A basic Level 1 inspection for a standard chimney typically runs less than what you’d pay for a single emergency repair if problems go undetected. Most homeowners find that annual inspections actually save money by catching small issues before they become expensive repairs. We’ll give you an exact price upfront with no surprises. Remember, the cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the potential cost of fire damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, or major structural repairs from neglected maintenance.
We document everything we find with photos and provide a detailed report explaining any issues in plain English. If there are safety concerns, we’ll prioritize them and explain what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. You’ll get honest recommendations about repairs, not a sales pitch. We provide written estimates for any work needed, and there’s no pressure to hire us for repairs. Our job is to give you accurate information so you can make informed decisions about your home’s safety. Many inspection issues are minor and inexpensive to fix when caught early, which is why regular inspections are so valuable.
Absolutely. Gas appliances still need proper venting, and their chimney systems require regular inspection just like wood-burning fireplaces. Gas appliances can develop problems with venting, blockages, or component failures that create carbon monoxide hazards. We inspect the entire venting system, check for proper installation, and ensure all safety components are working correctly. Many homeowners assume gas fireplaces are maintenance-free, but that’s not true. Gas appliances need professional attention to operate safely, and we have the expertise to service wood, gas, and pellet systems properly.
We provide chimney services year-round, though scheduling is often easier during spring and summer months. Many homeowners prefer off-season inspections and repairs because there’s no rush, better weather for exterior work, and more flexible scheduling. However, we understand that chimney problems don’t wait for convenient timing. We handle emergency repairs and urgent safety issues regardless of season. If you’re planning to use your fireplace when cold weather arrives, spring and summer are ideal times for inspections and any needed repairs. This ensures your system is ready when you need it and avoids the rush that comes when everyone suddenly remembers their chimney needs attention.
