What our customers say
“I recently bought an older home. I thought it necessary to have the chimney inspected. I was right. Trey did a thorough video inspection of the chimney and found that the liner had gaps in it and it would not draw properly if it was converted back into a wood burning fireplace. He was able to give me an estimate for repairs.”

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Everything Chimspector does carries the Chimspector Forever Warranty, for as long as the system is inspected every year. The annual inspection is what keeps it in force, which is one more reason to book one each season. The full terms are on our Forever Warranty page.
The NFPA and CSIA both recommend a professional inspection at least once per year, even if you use your fireplace infrequently.
A Level 1 is a visual review of readily accessible areas; a Level 2 adds a video scan of the flue liner. Chimspector provides Level 2 as its standard offering.
NFPA 211 recommends a Level 2 inspection upon the sale or transfer of property, the appropriate industry standard for an accurate picture before closing.
Every Level 2 inspection includes a courtesy dryer vent check. A full dryer vent cleaning is a separate service that can be added to the same visit.
