Guidance from NFPA 211 and CSIA says the same thing. Get your chimney inspected once a year. A year of fires can crack masonry. It can block a flue. It can hide a nest.
An inspection is not a sales visit. We check. We report. We show you photos. If all is fine we say so. If something needs work we explain what and why.
We look at every part that keeps your chimney safe and drawing right.
We check for cracks, gaps and buildup inside the flue. We check that the liner is sound from top to bottom.
We check the cap for damage and rust. We check the crown for cracks where rain gets in.
We check the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. We check bricks and mortar for wear.
We check that the damper opens and closes right. We check the firebox for cracks and wear.
Level 1 fits most homes. It covers the parts we can see and reach. It suits the yearly check.
Level 2 adds a camera look inside the flue. It suits a home sale. It suits a chimney after a fire or a storm. It suits a new fireplace or a change of fuel type.
Level 3 looks at hidden parts. It is rarely needed. It happens only when a serious problem is suspected. We tell you honestly if you ever need it.
Most visits take 60 to 90 minutes including the report.

A camera inspection costs more than a basic look because it films the full flue. The range depends on chimney height and access.
Any one of these is a good reason to book. Early checks cost less than late repairs.
