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
Why it matters

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.

Questions

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.
