Level 1 Chimney Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the minimum requirement for chimneys under continued service, under the same conditions, and with no known issues. This inspection includes:

• Examination of readily accessible parts of the chimney structure and flue
• Assessment of basic appliance connections and venting pathways
• Verification of clearance from combustibles
• General structural integrity check

It is ideal for routine annual maintenance and homes with no recent changes to the fireplace system.

Basic Chimney Check

Our basic chimney check is a non-invasive service designed to catch early warning signs before they become hazards. It includes:

• External visual review of the chimney stack and crown
• Evaluation of soot buildup or creosote formation
• Quick review of rain caps, flashing, and brickwork

Perfect for seasonal checkups or before and after weather extremes.
