FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I have my fireplace inspected?

    The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having fireplaces, wood stoves, and chimneys professionally inspected annually before regular use for safe operation. This is especially important if potential issues like creosote buildup are identified during prior inspections. We offer thorough annual inspections to maintain your fireplace in top condition.

  • What does a fireplace inspection include?

    A full inspection by our trained specialists includes examining the firebox and visible flue surfaces for damage or debris, checking the flue liner and chimney cap, and using cameras to view hidden areas. We measure clearance to combustibles, verify that installation meets the code, and provide a detailed report on the system’s condition and safety.

  • What are the common issues found during an inspection?

    Some typical problems our technicians find include creosote buildup, cracks/separations in chimney materials, gaps or deteriorated connections/seams that compromise integrity or safety, improper clearance to combustibles, blockages, and damaged/missing chimney caps that don’t prevent intrusions. Our goal is to catch these before they become dangerous.

  • What are the different levels of inspection?

    Inspections can be Basic (visual from ground), Intermediate (includes extended chimney access), or Full (utilizes specialized scopes/tools). A Basic inspection checks the firebox and accessible flue surfaces. Intermediate accesses more. Our full inspection provides the most detailed evaluation using borescopes and specialized tools to understand the unit fully.
