Chimney Inspections
Have you had your chimney inspected in the last year? If not, it's time to have your chimney inspected!
Our CSIA certified chimney technicians use a camera to inspect chimney flue liners, mortars joints, and the chimney structure. We utilize specialized equipment and cameras to access ALL areas of your chimney system.
During a chimney inspection, a certified chimney tech can identify damage, plan necessary repairs, and recommend a proper inspection/cleaning cycle.
Chimney inspections and sweeping is recommended once a year. We offer 3 levels of inspections:
- Level 1: If you're using your chimney the way it was built, this is the level of inspection needed. Requires a basic visual inspection of the chimney structure, smoke chamber, fireplace, and chimney exterior.
- Level 2: If changes have been made to your system including a change in fuel, etc, a level 2 is recommended. A level 2 inspection includes all inspection methods used in level 1 but also includes inspection of other areas such as the attic, crawl space, and basement.
- Level 3: If you have experienced a chimney fire or suspected chimney fire, a level 3 inspection is required. These are special inspections performed to access any hidden area, repair, or replacement of damaged areas.
