Chimney Inspection

Level 1 & 2 inspections with full-length camera scans and photo reports — know exactly what’s happening inside your flue.

Inspect & Document

You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See

You can’t see most of what goes wrong inside a chimney. Cracked flue tiles, a shifting crown, creosote glazing behind the smoke shelf — the problems that matter hide where a flashlight glance from the hearth will never reach.

A 360 inspection goes top to bottom: firebox, damper, smoke chamber, a full-length camera scan of the flue, then crown, cap and flashing at the roofline. Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles pry masonry apart a little every winter, and canyon downdrafts expose venting flaws — so we check what this climate actually attacks, not a generic checklist.

Every finding lands in a written report with labeled photos and plain-English priorities. Buying a home in Daybreak, selling in Provo, or just burned through last winter in Heber? You’ll know exactly what’s sound, what needs watching, and what needs fixing — with honest pricing attached. Most inspections take about an hour, and same-week appointments are the norm, not the exception.

How We Work

Look. Scan. Report.

Look

We examine the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and exterior masonry top to bottom, noting anything Utah weather has been working on.

Scan

A camera travels the full length of the flue, recording cracked tiles, gaps, blockages and creosote conditions you’d never otherwise see.

Report

You get a written report with labeled photos, a plain-English summary, and prioritized recommendations with upfront pricing.

Good Questions

Chimney Inspection FAQs

What's the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 inspection?
A Level 1 inspection covers all readily accessible parts of the system: firebox, damper, visible flue, and exterior. A Level 2 adds a full-length camera scan of the flue and checks of attics and crawl spaces. Level 2 is the standard for home sales, after a chimney fire, or after any earthquake or major storm.
Do I need an inspection if I rarely use my fireplace?
Yes. Unused chimneys still collect nesting animals, deteriorate from freeze-thaw, and develop blockages that matter the first cold night you light a fire. An inspection every couple of years for rarely used fireplaces, and annually for working ones, is the safe rhythm.
Should I get a chimney inspection before buying a home in Utah?
Absolutely. Standard home inspections rarely include a camera scan of the flue, and relining a damaged flue can cost thousands. A Level 2 inspection before closing tells you exactly what you are buying and gives you leverage if repairs are needed.
