What the free inspection covers
This is a full NFPA 211 Level 1 inspection, not a five-minute look up the chimney with a torch. Here is exactly what a technician does on site and what you receive afterwards.
Video camera flue scan
A camera goes up the flue so you see the liner condition on a screen rather than taking a technician's word for it. Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, and glazed creosote all show up clearly.
Written safety report
Creosote grade, damper and firebox condition, crown and cap notes, and photographs, issued the same day and formatted so an insurer, landlord or buyer's attorney can read it.
Code and NFPA references
Anything flagged is tied to NFPA 211 or New Jersey code rather than a vague warning, so you can verify it independently before spending a dollar.
Same-week appointment
Evening and Saturday slots across most of New Jersey. You get an arrival window, not a vague all-day promise.
Book sooner if you have noticed any of this
A sharp, tarry smell in warm weather
Creosote off-gassing when humidity rises means enough deposit has built up to matter. Stage 2 and 3 creosote is what turns an ordinary fire into a chimney fire.
Smoke pushing back into the room
Spillage is usually a draft or blockage problem, a collapsed liner, a nest, or a cap that has rusted shut. All three are visible on a camera pass in minutes.
White staining or crumbling mortar outside
Efflorescence and spalling brick mean water is moving through the masonry. New Jersey freeze-thaw cycles turn a hairline crack into a rebuild over two or three winters.
None of these guarantee a problem, and none of them guarantee safety either, which is the entire reason the inspection is free. Finding out costs you nothing.
