A video camera is used to examine the flue and check for cracks or damage to the joints in the chimney’s structure. A chimney inspection may also include examination of the attic, roof/chimney exterior and crawl space. This involves looking for damage and combustible materials near the flue that should be spaced away.
We can tell you if your chimney is in good condition or if it needs cleaning or repair. We can even recommend trusted professionals to assist you after our inspection.

Most chimney fires are caused by dirty chimneys. Before you move into a new home, or even after you have moved, a chimney inspection can SAVE LIVES.
Most fires occur in the flue. Therefore, is vital an inspector not just looks inside the flue, but around the flue within attic spaces to check for combustible materials too close to the flue.
