Chimney Inspections: What You Can't See Can Hurt You
You can't see the dangers lurking inside your chimney. Hidden cracks, gaps in the liner, and structural damage are impossible to detect from the outside. A professional inspection is the only way to get a clear, undeniable look at the true condition of your entire chimney system, ensuring it's safe for use.
Undetected Fire Hazards: Small cracks in the flue liner can expose your home's combustible framework to intense heat.
Carbon Monoxide Leaks: Breaches in the flue that are invisible from the outside can allow CO to seep into your home.
Wasted Money on Incorrect Repairs: Without a clear diagnosis, you could pay for repairs that don't solve the underlying, dangerous problem.

Two Levels of Inspection for Your Peace of Mind
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) outlines two primary levels of inspection. We help you choose the right one for your situation.
The recommended standard for an annual check-up of a chimney under continued use.
A Level 1 inspection is a thorough visual assessment of all the readily accessible parts of your chimney. It is the minimum requirement to ensure your system is clear of obstructions and fundamentally sound for another season of use.
What it includes: Examination of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, exterior masonry, and the chimney crown.
When it's needed: Annually for any chimney that is actively used, as recommended by the NFPA.
