Chimney Inspection
A clear, honest look at your chimney's condition — before small issues become
expensive ones.
A chimney inspection is the foundation of chimney care — it's how we find out what's actually going on inside a flue you can't see into yourself. We offer all three NFPA-defined inspection levels, matched to your situation rather than sold as a one-size-fits-all package.
Whether you're buying a home, haven't used your fireplace in a few years, or just want peace of mind before winter, an inspection gives you a documented, honest assessment of what needs attention and what doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which inspection level do I need?
Most homeowners with a chimney in regular, trouble-free use need a Level 1 inspection. A Level 2 is typically required for home sales, after a chimney fire, or after an event like an earthquake. Level 3 is reserved for cases where a serious hidden hazard is suspected.
How long does an inspection take?
A standard Level 1 or 2 inspection usually takes under an hour, depending on chimney access and condition.
