A Level 1 Chimney Inspection is our standard, routine safety check - perfect if your chimney system hasn’t changed and you’re using the same appliance (fireplace, stove, etc.) as before. This inspection meets NFPA 211 guidelines and is ideal for annual maintenance.

What We Do:

  • Visually inspect the readily accessible parts of your chimney: both the exterior and interior.

  • Check your fireplace or stove connection, firebox, and damper (if accessible).

  • Evaluate the basic structural integrity of the chimney and flue — making sure there are no visible cracks, deterioration, or missing components.

  • Verify the flue is clear of obstructions, such as debris or nesting material.

  • Look for hazardous buildup of combustible deposits (like soot or creosote) that could pose a fire risk.

  • Confirm the appliance-to-chimney connection is properly installed and safe.

  • You use your chimney regularly under the same conditions and with the same appliance

  • It’s part of your routine annual maintenance or cleaning.

  • You haven’t made changes like switching fuel types, relining the flue, or replacing the appliance.

Why It Matters:

A Level 1 inspection helps ensure your chimney is safe and ready for use without needing invasive procedures. It gives you peace of mind by identifying obvious issues early — before they become costly or dangerous.
