Professional Chimney Safety Inspections

Don't guess when it comes to fire safety. Our CSIA-certified technicians provide comprehensive Level I, II, and III inspections.

Understanding Chimney Inspection Levels

A chimney inspection is more than just a quick look-over. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 211 standards, there are three distinct levels of inspection. Knowing which one you need is the first step toward a safe home.

Level I: Routine Maintenance

Recommended if your appliance or venting system has not changed and you are planning to use it in the same manner. We check the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior and interior.

Level II: Real Estate & Changes

Required upon the sale or transfer of a property, or after an event (like a chimney fire or earthquake). Includes the use of video scanning technology to inspect the entire length of the flue.

Level III: Structural Investigation

Necessary when a Level I or II inspection reveals a major problem that requires accessing concealed areas (like removing drywall or masonry) to determine the extent of the hazard.

Video Scanning Diagnostics

Gone are the days of guessing the condition of your chimney from the hearth. Our team uses specialized high-resolution cameras that travel the entire length of your flue. This technology allows us to see hairline cracks, disconnected liner joints, and hidden obstructions that would be impossible to catch with the naked eye.
