Wood-burning fireplace?

Make sure the first fire isn't a mistake.

A Level II camera inspection of the full flue.

Inspector lowering a camera into a brick chimney flue

Most chimney problems are inside the flue, where you can't see them from the firebox or the roof. Cracked liners and gaps let heat and smoke reach the framing. The national fire code recommends a Level II inspection when a home changes hands. We send a camera up the full flue and show you what's there.

What we check

  • Flue liner for cracks, gaps and missing mortar
  • Smoke chamber and damper
  • Firebox and hearth
  • Crown, cap and exterior masonry

What you get

  • Camera footage and photos of the flue
  • A clear call: safe to use, needs repair, or don't use
  • Unbiased results from an inspector who doesn't sell repairs
  • Repair estimates from a partner, only if you want them
