Chimney Inspection

Ensure your chimney is safe and functioning with a professional inspection.

Overview

Chimney inspections are crucial for identifying potential safety hazards and ensuring your chimney operates efficiently. An inspection can reveal structural damage, blockages, and other issues.

During an inspection, our technicians will assess the interior and exterior of your chimney, looking for signs of wear and tear, creosote buildup, and proper venting.

Routine inspections help maintain your chimney's longevity and can prevent costly repairs down the line.

  2. A strong draft or reduced airflow is present when using the fireplace.
  3. Unexplained leaks or water stains near your chimney area.
  4. It's been a year since your last professional inspection.

What happens on the visit

  1. A thorough visual inspection of the chimney structure and immediate surroundings is conducted.
