A safe, efficient chimney begins with a proper inspection. At Chimney of America, we provide comprehensive chimney inspections for homeowners who want peace of mind, improved performance, and protection against costly repairs. Whether you use your fireplace regularly or only during the colder months, scheduling routine chimney inspections is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your home safe.
Why Chimney Inspections Are Essential
Over time, chimneys can develop hidden problems—cracks in the liner, loose mortar, water leaks, or blockages from debris. Left undetected, these issues can lead to chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, or expensive structural damage. That’s why chimney inspections are so critical: they catch small issues before they become dangerous or costly.
Our team follows National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines, ensuring every chimney inspection meets the highest safety standards. We don’t just check for obvious signs of damage—we look deeper, using advanced tools to detect concerns that the untrained eye might miss.
Levels of Chimney Inspections
Not all chimneys require the same level of inspection. At Chimney of America, we offer three levels based on your home’s needs:
- Level 1 Inspection: A basic annual check for chimneys that have not changed and are used under normal conditions.
- Level 2 Inspection: Required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or following major weather events. This includes camera scans and a closer evaluation.
- Level 3 Inspection: The most detailed, often involving access to hidden areas of the chimney structure if serious hazards are suspected.
By offering these levels, we tailor chimney inspections to your situation, ensuring you only pay for the level of detail you need.
Common Issues Found During Inspections
Chimney inspections often reveal problems homeowners aren’t aware of, such as:
- Creosote buildup that increases fire risk
- Damaged or missing chimney liners
- Moisture intrusion leading to mold or structural weakening
- Blockages from animal nests, leaves, or debris
- Masonry deterioration caused by freeze-thaw cycles
Identifying these early through regular chimney inspections can save you from dangerous conditions and costly repairs later.
