What's included

  • Level-1 visual inspection of readily accessible areas
  • Level-2 camera scan of the flue when you're buying a home or after a chimney fire
  • Photo report of every finding, in plain English
  • Clear repair priorities — safety first, cosmetic last

If you're buying an older Dayton home, a Level-2 inspection is the smartest $150 you'll spend. Many homes here have masonry flues built before 1970, and hidden cracks in the clay tile liner are common and dangerous.

We don't inspect to sell you repairs. You get the photos, the findings, and an honest priority list. What you do next is up to you.

Questions we get a lot

What do they do in a chimney inspection?

We check the flue, liner, firebox, damper, crown, and cap for cracks, blockages, creosote, and water damage, then hand you a photo report in plain English. A Level-2 adds a camera scan of the full flue.

What is the 7 times rule for chimneys?

It's the guideline that a flue's opening should be no smaller than one-seventh the area of the fireplace opening, so smoke drafts up instead of back into the room. An undersized flue is a common cause of a smoky fireplace, and we check for it.

Are chimney inspections worth it?

Yes. A cracked liner or a blocked flue is a fire and carbon-monoxide risk you can't see from the living room. An annual inspection is cheap insurance — and it's free with us this season.

What's the difference between a Level-1 and Level-2 inspection?

Level-1 is a visual check of the accessible parts of your chimney. Level-2 adds a camera scan of the full flue and is recommended when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when you've changed heating appliances.
