Our Chimney Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We check the flue, damper, chimney cap, and all the components most homeowners never see. You’ll know exactly what condition everything is in.

Next, we clean out all the creosote, debris, and blockages that create fire hazards. We use professional equipment that removes buildup without damaging your chimney liner or creating a mess in your home.

Finally, we handle any repairs that need attention—from chimney cap replacement to flue repair to liner issues. You get a complete solution, not just a quick cleaning that ignores underlying problems.

Complete Chimney Repair Services

Everything Your Chimney Needs

Our chimney services cover every aspect of keeping your system safe and functional. We handle routine cleaning and inspection, but also chimney cap installation, liner replacement, and structural repairs that prevent bigger problems down the road.

Lloyd Harbor homes face specific challenges from coastal weather. Salt air corrodes chimney caps faster. Winter storms damage flashing and create leaks. We see these issues constantly and know exactly how to fix them properly the first time.

Whether you need a spring chimney inspection after winter damage, fall maintenance before heating season, or emergency repair when something goes wrong, we have the experience and equipment to handle it right.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

You should have your chimney inspected annually and cleaned whenever creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness. If you use your fireplace regularly during winter months, that usually means cleaning every year or two. However, if you burn a lot of pine or other resinous woods, you might need more frequent cleaning since these create more creosote. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections regardless of how often you use your fireplace, because problems can develop even when the chimney isn’t being used regularly.
Call for immediate service. if you notice smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or a strong odor coming from your fireplace even when it’s not in use. These are serious safety issues that shouldn’t wait. Other warning signs include animals or birds in your chimney, water leaks during rain, or a damaged chimney cap. If your smoke detector goes off when you use your fireplace, stop using it immediately and call for a professional inspection.
Chimney cleaning typically costs between $200-400 depending on your chimney’s condition, height, and accessibility. We will discuss any additional costs, such as chimney cap replacement or flue repair, upfront before beginning any work. We provide clear, written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The cost of regular maintenance is minimal compared to dealing with a house fire or major structural damage from neglect. Most Lloyd Harbor homeowners find that annual cleaning and inspection is a smart investment in their home’s safety and value.
Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, safety gear, and knowledge of what to look for during inspection. Professional chimney sweeps have industrial-grade vacuums, proper brushes for different flue sizes, and experience identifying structural problems that untrained homeowners might miss. More importantly, we know how to work safely on roofs and inside chimneys where dangerous gases and unstable creosote can create serious health hazards. DIY chimney cleaning often results in incomplete removal of fire hazards and missed warning signs of bigger problems. The minor savings from DIY chimney cleaning do not justify the safety risks and the potential for expensive mistakes.
Level 1 inspections are basic visual checks of accessible portions of your chimney and are sufficient for routine annual maintenance when no problems are suspected. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of internal flue areas and are required when selling your home, after chimney fires, or when you’ve had operating problems. Level 3 inspections involve removing parts of the chimney structure and are only needed when serious hazards are suspected. Most Lloyd Harbor homeowners need Level 1 inspections annually, with Level 2 every few years or when problems arise. We’ll recommend the appropriate level based on your chimney’s age, condition, and any symptoms you’ve noticed.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for chimney maintenance. Spring inspection lets us assess any damage from winter weather and address problems before they worsen. Fall cleaning and maintenance makes sure your system is ready for heating season. Avoid waiting until you want to use your fireplace—that’s when everyone calls and scheduling becomes difficult. Emergency repairs during peak winter season are more expensive and stressful than planned maintenance. If you’re buying or selling a home, schedule an inspection well before closing dates since repairs can take time to complete properly.
