Chimney Inspections
Whether you are buying a home, had a chimney fire, or just want peace of mind before burning season, a professional inspection tells you exactly what condition your chimney is in.
The three levels of chimney inspection
Not every situation needs the same depth of inspection. The pros in our network follow the nationally recognized standard so you only pay for what you need.
- Level 1 — routine annual check of readily accessible areas
- Level 2 — camera scan of the full flue, required for home sales, liner changes, or after an event like a chimney fire
- Level 3 — investigative inspection when a hidden hazard is suspected
You get a written report, not a sales pitch
Every inspection comes with a documented report and photos or video from inside the flue. If the inspector finds something, they show it to you and explain your options plainly — no scare tactics.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a Level 2 inspection to sell my house?
- Yes. A Level 2 inspection is the standard whenever a property changes hands, because it includes a camera scan of the full flue that a basic visual check does not.
- Do gas fireplaces and furnace flues need to be inspected?
- Yes. Gas produces little creosote, but flues can still be blocked by debris or animal nests, and venting or corrosion problems can develop. Because gas burns without visible smoke, those failures give no warning, so an annual inspection is recommended for every chimney in the home.
