Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, every home sale should include at least a Level 2 chimney inspection, which is more thorough than a general home inspector's visual check.
Many insurers reimburse inspections after a chimney fire, lightning strike, or earthquake claim. We provide the documentation they require.
Level 1 is a visual check of readily accessible parts of the chimney and flue. Level 2 adds the attic, crawl space, and a video scan of the full flue interior, and is required at a sale, after a chimney fire, or after any change to the appliance or fuel type.
Most Level 1 inspections take 45 to 60 minutes; a Level 2 with a camera scan takes 1.5 to 2 hours. You receive a written report with photos, any code or safety findings, and a clear itemized quote for anything that needs work.
Yes, an unused chimney still needs periodic checks. Water, freeze-thaw cracking, animal nests, and deteriorating crowns damage the structure whether or not you burn, and an unlined or blocked flue is a hazard the day you decide to light a fire.
