🧠 FAQ — Chimney Inspection

Q: How often should I get a chimney inspection?
We recommend at least one detailed inspection every year, especially before winter or heavy-use season. Annual checks help catch hidden issues early.

Q: What’s the difference between basic and Level 2 inspections?
Basic inspections visually assess accessible components. Level 2 inspections include a camera or video scan and are required when selling homes or after damage, storms, or flue fires.

Q: Do you offer video chimney inspections?
Yes — we use advanced video technology to capture clear images of your flue and hard-to-see areas so you can see exactly what needs attention.

Q: How long does a chimney inspection take?
Most inspections take 45–90 minutes depending on chimney complexity and type of inspection.

Q: Is your inspection safe for all types of chimneys?
Absolutely. Whether you have a wood-burning fireplace, stove, gas insert, or masonry chimney, our certified team inspects it safely and professionally.
