Our team follows the industry’s highest standards for chimney inspections, including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 211 guidelines. These inspections are more than just a quick glance at your fireplace — they involve a detailed evaluation of the entire system, from the firebox to the chimney cap.
Why Chimney Inspections Are Important
- Fire Prevention: Creosote buildup and blockages can ignite without warning. Inspections detect and prevent these risks.If your inspection reveals buildup, our chimney cleaning services keep your system safe
- Structural Safety: Connecticut’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles often cause cracks in mortar, bricks, and crowns. Left unchecked, these can lead to major repairs.
- Ventilation Issues: A blocked flue or damaged liner can force dangerous gases back into your home. Cracked liners are often discovered during inspections — learn more about chimney relining.
- Insurance & Real Estate: Many insurers require proof of inspection, and buyers expect it during real estate transactions.
- Emergency Services: When there are serious issues with your chimney we also offer emergency chimney service across Fairfield & New Haven if urgent issues are found
Inspection Levels
- Level 1: Standard yearly inspection for chimneys in regular use.
- Level 2: Required after a home sale, major storm, or chimney fire. In Fairfield County cities like Stamford, Norwalk, and Bridgeport, Level 2 inspections are common during home closings.
- Level 3: Full structural inspection, often requiring access behind walls or masonry.
