The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urge homeowners to schedule chimney inspections each and every year. 

Whether or not you’re having performance issuesyou’re having performance issues or not, an annual inspection is always smart. Whether you need a level one, two, or three inspections, our team is dedicated to making you fire safe.

• Level One — When everything’s running smoothly and you just want to have your system inspected to make sure there are no issues or concerns, a level one is the inspection for you. There are no invasive procedures or dismantling. It’s a quick look from chimney cap to firebox.
• Level Two — If your chimney system has undergone any changes — from performance to chimney relining, chimney fire, new appliance, or new fuel type — a level two is recommended. We look at the system as a whole using a video camera. Level two inspections are also recommended when purchasing or selling a property, as they allow a closer look at the chimney’s condition than a home inspector could provide.
• Level Three — Still having problems that a level two inspection can’t pinpoint? Then a level three inspection may be needed. It can involve the removal of some parts of the chimney system and the surrounding areas of the home, so they’re really only recommended if there’s no other way to pinpoint and address the problem.
