Different Levels of Our Chimney Inspection

Explore Our Inspection Options that Fit Your Needs

At Safe Sweep, we understand chimneys come in all shapes and sizes. That's why we offer multiple inspection tiers to suit every home and budget!

Level 1

(Basic)

We visually inspect the flue, damper, and surrounding areas from the roofline down. This level is perfect for occasional fireplace users.

Level 2

(Standard)

This level includes smoke testing and a camera evaluation of the entire flue interior, making this option ideal for those who use their fireplace regularly.

Level 3

(Comprehensive)

New components, like caps and flashing, are more durable and keep out water longer. Rigid liners reduce the need for internal repairs, simplifying upkeep.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Inspection

Address Chimney Issues Before They Escalate

Have you noticed any concerning signs with your chimney lately? The following issues could indicate problems that require a professional inspection:

Cracked/Broken Chimney Materials

Structural damage poses a safety hazard and allows moisture/pest entry that deteriorates the flue over time. 

Damaged Flashing/Crumbling Mortar

Flashing and waterproof sealants must be intact to prevent water intrusion that weakens chimney integrity.

Erratic/Poor Burning Fires

Drafting issues make controlling fire temperatures or completely burning fireplace fuel difficult.

Strange Odors When Burning

Unusual smells may arise from dangerous creosote buildup or other unseen issues. 

Don’t ignore these red flags – call us today for a professional inspection before you light your next fire. Our certified inspectors can diagnose any problems and provide repair recommendations.

Prepare for Success - How to Ready Your Home

Maximize Your Inspection Efficiency with Prep Steps

Are you preparing for a chimney inspection and wondering what to do beforehand? Start by clearing any obstructions from the firebox and flue interior to give our technicians full access. If you have gas appliances, turn them off, as we may need to block pilot lights during the inspection. Have records of your last chimney cleaning ready to help us determine future cleaning needs. Note any unusual smells, sounds, or signs related to your chimney and share these with us. Additionally, make sure access areas such as the attic or roof are open and available for inspection.
