Chimney Inspection & Cleaning Service
Your chimney system works hard to safely vent smoke, heat, and gases out of your home — but over time, buildup and hidden damage can create serious safety risks.
Our NFPA 211 chimney inspection and cleaning service provides a thorough safety evaluation and professional cleaning to ensure your fireplace and venting system are operating safely, efficiently, and up to current standards.
We follow nationally recognized guidelines designed to reduce fire hazards, improve performance, and give you complete peace of mind.
Level 1 & Level 2 Chimney Inspections
Not all chimney inspections are the same. The level of inspection needed depends on your situation, recent changes to your system, and whether the home is being sold or transferred.
Here’s the breakdown:
Level 1 Chimney Inspection
Best for: Annual maintenance when no changes have been made
A Level 1 inspection is recommended when:
- The system has not been modified
- You’ve had regular annual inspections
- No performance issues are present
- You’re continuing to use the system the same way as before
During a Level 1 inspection, we examine all readily accessible components of your chimney and venting system to ensure:
- The structure is sound
- The flue is free of excessive creosote buildup
- There are no obvious blockages
- Proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Best for: Real estate transactions, system changes, or after a chimney fire
A Level 2 inspection is required when:
- A home is being sold or transferred
- A new appliance has been installed
- A liner or venting component has been replaced
- The fuel type has changed
- A flue fire or chimney event has occurred
This inspection includes everything in a Level 1, plus a more detailed evaluation of concealed and internal areas of the system such as:
- Attics, crawlspaces, and basements (where accessible)
- Concealed areas that could affect safety
- And more!
