They also ensure compliance with safety codes, prolong chimney lifespan, and maintain proper ventilation, protecting your home and family from potential risks.
How long does a chimney inspection take?
A chimney inspection typically takes 45 minutes to two hours, depending on the chimney’s size, condition, and inspection level. A Level 1 inspection is quicker, while Level 2 or 3 requires more time due to camera scans or structural assessments.
What should I expect during an inspection?

Common problems found during a chimney inspection include creosote buildup, cracked flue liners, damaged chimney caps, deteriorated mortar joints, blockages from debris or animal nests, water leaks, rusted dampers, spalling bricks, loose flashing, improper chimney height, chimney crown damage, and carbon monoxide leaks.
What happens if problems are found during an inspection?
If problems are found during a chimney inspection, the inspector will provide a detailed report outlining the issues and recommended repairs. Repairs may include cleaning, relining, sealing cracks, or replacing damaged components like the flue liner, chimney cap, crown, damper, or masonry.
