Our Chimney Inspection Services

We provide a full range of inspection services designed to meet the needs of homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals.

Level 1 and Level 2 Chimney Inspections

A Level 1 inspection is a basic check of accessible areas, ideal for annual maintenance. A Level 2 chimney inspection is more detailed, often required when selling or transferring property, or after damage has occurred. Our chimney inspectors perform both levels of inspection with the highest care and attention to detail.

Chimney Flue Inspection and Safety Assessments

Your flue is one of the most important portions of your chimney system. A chimney flue inspection ensures it’s free from cracks, blockages, or deterioration that could compromise safety. Our chimney safety inspections include flue assessments to prevent carbon monoxide leaks and fire hazards.

Detailed Chimney Inspection Reports for Homeowners and Real Estate

After every inspection, we provide a comprehensive chimney inspection report. These reports outline our findings, highlight any issues, and recommend solutions. For homeowners, it’s a clear roadmap for maintenance. For real estate agents and buyers, it’s essential documentation that supports confident decision-making.

Why Regular Chimney Inspections Are Essential

Routine inspections protect your home, your family, and your investment. Without them, small issues like cracked mortar or hidden leaks can escalate into major problems—and costly repairs. Regular inspections:

Identify hazards before they become emergencies
Prevent costly structural damage from water or heat
Ensure your chimney complies with safety codes
Support efficient heating and better indoor air quality

Industry standards recommend annual inspections, even if you don’t use your fireplace often. Pairing an inspection with chimney cleaning is one of the best ways to ensure your system is safe and ready for use.

“Dylan and his team were very professional, clean and knew what they were doing. Timely and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I understand they are going to begin offering dryer vent cleaning services now as well and will be using them for both going forward! Highly recommend.”
