Whether you’re buying or selling a home, preparing for winter, or maintaining a multi-family property, a chimney inspection is your first line of defense against hidden dangers. Our team follows the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 211 standards to uncover any structural, functional, or safety issues—before they become costly or hazardous.
We Provide All Three Levels of Chimney Inspections
Level 1 – Basic Safety Inspection
Ideal for systems with no known changes or issues. We check readily accessible parts of your chimney, firebox, and flue to confirm everything is in safe, working order.
Level 2 – Real Estate & Insurance Inspections
Required for property transfers, major changes, or after damage (storms, chimney fires, etc.). Includes full video scan of the flue, accessible attics/basements, and a written report for compliance.
Level 3 – In-Depth Investigative Inspection
Necessary when hidden hazards are suspected. May require minor removal of structure (e.g., walls or masonry) to access concealed areas of concern.

Why Chimney Inspections Matter
Chimneys are exposed to extreme conditions—heat, moisture, freezing temps, debris, and aging materials. Over time, these factors can cause damage inside and out, even if your chimney appears “fine” from the outside. A certified inspection can detect:
Dangerous creosote buildup or fire hazards
Flue obstructions or liner damage
Structural weaknesses or water damage
Leaks, poor drafting, or carbon monoxide risk
Routine inspections help extend the life of your system, meet local fire codes, avoid insurance issues, and ensure your home is safe for heating season.
