A typical chimney inspection looks at the flue, firebox, and the exterior masonry. We check for creosote buildup, blockages, and signs of cracks or loose bricks.

Pricing depends on the size of the chimney and any extra services needed. A basic level-1 inspection starts around a set fee, which covers the visual check and a report.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but someone should be home to let us in. We need access to the fireplace and the roof if a cap check is required.
