Kevin clearly explained that he would inspect and clean the chimneys today . . . Kevin was very knowledgeable about chimneys and what was needed to keep them safe. He was able to answer all my questions with ease. I would definitely use this company again.

Level 1 Chimney Inspection

If you haven’t made any major changes to your appliance, like a change in fuel or a relining job, and regularly have it maintained every year, then a basic level 1 inspection should be all you need.

We’ll inspect your flue for damages or buildup, make appropriate recommendations for repairs or cleaning services, then be on our way.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection

Have you recently converted to a different fuel type? Added an insert? Relined? Experienced a flood, tornado, or other natural disaster?

All of these events warrant a level 2 inspection, which is more thorough and incorporates the use of camera equipment to get an in-depth look at your system’s interior.

These are also required when buying or selling a home.

Level 3 Chimney Inspection

If there is a hidden hazard concealed in an area of your chimney or fireplace, and it cannot be accessed with a level 1 or level 2 inspection, then a level 3 inspection is next up.

These involve the removal of certain portions of your walls or chimney, potentially even demoing areas, as needed.
