Chimney Inspections in Park Ridge, IL
A chimney inspection checks the flue, the liner, the brick and mortar, the crown and the cap so that problems are found before they become expensive. We inspect and tell you plainly what is fine and what needs work.
When to book chimney inspections
- You are buying or selling a home with a fireplace
- You are about to use a fireplace that has been unused for a while
- You have had a chimney fire, a storm or another event that may have caused damage
- You see cracks, loose brick, rust or water stains near the chimney
What is at stake
Standards such as NFPA 211 call for a chimney to be inspected at least once a year. Inspections come in levels: a Level 1 inspection covers the readily accessible parts, a Level 2 inspection adds a camera scan of the flue and a look at accessible attic and crawl space areas, and a Level 3 inspection can involve removing parts of the building to reach hidden areas.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an inspection if I rarely use my fireplace?
Yes. Cracks, water damage and animal nests can develop even when a fireplace is not used often, so a yearly look is still a good idea.
Should I get an inspection before buying a house?
It is a smart step if the home has a fireplace. A chimney can have hidden problems that are costly to fix.
