Chimney Inspections
Know what is happening inside the system.
A chimney can look fine from the room while hiding deterioration, blockage, moisture entry, or structural concerns. An inspection gives you a clearer picture before you use, buy, sell, or repair.
Inspection points
A system-wide visual review.
We look at the visible chimney system as connected components—not isolated parts. Damage in one area can create symptoms somewhere else.
Exterior Masonry
Brick, mortar, crown, cap, flashing, and visible signs of movement or water entry.
Flue Pathway
Visible buildup, obstruction, liner concerns, and areas that may limit proper venting.
Firebox & Connections
Accessible joints, surfaces, transitions, and visible damage near the appliance or fireplace.
Repair Indicators
Conditions that may call for cleaning, repair, further evaluation, or restricted use.
When an inspection makes sense.
After a Long Break
If the fireplace or appliance has not been used recently, an inspection can help identify visible changes, blockage, or deterioration before the next fire.
Buying a Home
A general home inspection may not give the chimney system the focused attention needed to understand visible concerns and likely repair needs.
Leaks, Odor, or Damage
Water stains, unusual smells, falling masonry, smoke concerns, and storm damage are all reasons to schedule a closer look.
