About the service

Why Chimney Inspections Are Essential

Over time, chimneys can develop hidden issues such as creosote buildup, structural cracks, blockages, or ventilation problems. These issues can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of smoke damage, carbon monoxide exposure, or chimney fires. Regular chimney inspections help catch problems early, improve overall system performance, and support compliance with safety standards. A professional inspection protects your home, your family, and your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chimney Inspection – Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about chimney inspection and maintenance.

What is a chimney inspection and why is it important?

A chimney inspection is a professional evaluation of your chimney’s interior and exterior components to check for damage, blockages, structural issues, creosote buildup, and safety hazards. Annual inspections help prevent chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and inefficient drafting.

What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is a natural byproduct of burning wood that builds up inside your chimney over time. While common, it’s highly flammable. Routine cleaning removes creosote safely, helping prevent chimney fires and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

What does a chimney inspection include?

An inspection typically involves examining the chimney crown, flashing, liner, flue, firebox, damper, and exterior masonry. The technician checks for cracks, water damage, obstructions, creosote buildup, and overall structural condition.

What are the different levels of chimney inspections?

Level 1 is a basic visual inspection of accessible areas.
Level 2 includes additional tools like video scanning and is used for real estate transactions or after major changes.
Level 3 is the most detailed, accessing hidden areas when serious hazards are suspected.

Will you identify necessary repairs during the inspection?

Yes. A thorough inspection will uncover issues such as cracks, deteriorated masonry, damaged liners, flashing problems, or excessive creosote, and the inspector can recommend specific repairs or cleaning.
