Our inspections are conducted to ensure that your chimney is safe, functional, and efficient, and who better to rely on for that than certified professionals who follow the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 211 standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid fuel burning appliances? This standard divides chimney inspections into three levels, which are:

Level I Chimney Inspection

Level I chimney inspections involve a basic visual assessment of both the interior and exterior of your chimney. These are the ideal inspections for chimneys that are in good condition and are maintained regularly. We'll take a look at the easy-to-get-to portions of the chimney like the chimney cap, crown, flue liner, and damper. This allows us to identify any issues or safety hazards.

Level II Chimney Inspection

With a Level II chimney inspection, you’ll get a more in-depth look at your chimney. These are recommended when there have been changes to your heating system or your chimney has performance issues. In addition to what a Level I inspection includes, Level II inspections also involve your chimney’s hidden areas—the attic, crawlspace, and basement. With state-of-the-art equipment like video scanning technology, we can get a thorough assessment of your chimney, again identifying any problems or safety concerns.

Level III Chimney Inspection

Of course, a Level III chimney inspection is the most comprehensive. This type of inspection is usually fit for chimneys with serious safety or structural problems. On top of what is included in the Level I and Level II inspections, the Level III inspections also involve the chimney’s structure. This can mean removing parts of the chimney or adjacent structures to get a look at hidden areas.
