Our Chimney Inspection Process

Here's How We Handle Your Chimney

First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We check the flue, damper, firebox, and exterior masonry. You’ll know exactly what condition everything is in before we start any work.

Next, we explain what we found in plain English. If you need cleaning, we’ll show you the creosote buildup. If there’s damage, we’ll explain how it affects your safety and what it takes to fix it properly.

Then we do the work efficiently and clean up completely. You get documentation of everything we did, plus recommendations for keeping your chimney in good shape going forward.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, with cleaning as needed based on use. If you burn wood regularly, you’ll likely need cleaning every year due to creosote buildup. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but should still be inspected annually for proper ventilation and to check for animal nests or debris. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, an annual inspection ensures everything is safe and ready when you do want to use it.
Chimney cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris from your flue and firebox. It’s maintenance that keeps your chimney functioning safely. Chimney inspection examines the entire system – flue, damper, cap, masonry, and interior components – to identify damage, wear, or safety issues. A basic inspection usually happens during cleaning, but more detailed inspections use cameras to see inside the flue and check areas that aren’t visible from the top or bottom.
Watch for white staining on exterior brickwork, which indicates water damage. Rust on the damper or firebox suggests moisture problems. If you see damaged mortar joints, cracked chimney crown, or missing chimney cap, those need attention. Inside your home, water stains near the fireplace or musty odors point to chimney leaks. Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney means something is blocking proper draft or the damper isn’t working correctly.
Creosote buildup becomes a serious fire hazard – it’s highly flammable and can ignite from normal fireplace use. Water damage from missing caps or damaged masonry can destroy the chimney structure and spread to your home’s interior. Blocked flues can cause carbon monoxide to enter your living space instead of venting outside. Small problems like minor masonry cracks become expensive structural repairs when left untreated. Regular maintenance prevents these dangerous and costly situations.
It’s not safe to use a fireplace with an uncleaned chimney, especially if you’re unsure when it was last serviced. Creosote buildup restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Even a small amount of debris can block proper ventilation. If you haven’t used your fireplace in over a year, animals may have nested in the chimney or weather may have caused damage. The safest approach is to have it inspected and cleaned before your first use of the season.
A standard chimney cleaning and basic inspection typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. If we find issues that need detailed camera inspection, it may take longer. We’ll let you know upfront if we discover anything that requires additional time to properly evaluate. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly we can complete the work while still being thorough – we’re efficient because we do this every day.
