What Does a Chimney Inspection Entail?
At All Pro Chimney Service, we offer three different levels of chimney inspections based on your needs.
- Level 1 – A basic, Level 1 inspection is what we recommend annually for most homeowners with chimneys. This inspection involves checking the structure of your chimney for damage, as well as making sure there aren’t dangerous levels of creosote or another flammable material build-up in your fireplace flue.
- Level 2 – A Level 2 inspection, on the other hand, is generally recommended whenever you’re looking to buy or sell a home with a fireplace/chimney. This level of inspection takes a more detailed look not only at the chimney and flue but its surrounding structures within the home as well.
- Level 3 – With a Level 3 inspection, we usually only recommend these if we’ve uncovered signs of a hazard and need to investigate further. This inspection may involve using video or other special tools to view areas of your chimney or home that are not easily accessible.
The Importance of Regular Chimney Sweep Services
A Level 1 chimney inspection is included with every chimney sweep service at All Pro Chimney Service. The main benefit of having your chimney swept annually is reducing fire hazards and ensuring that your fireplace continues to function correctly. Over time, creosote (a highly flammable material) can build up inside the flue of your chimney with repeated use of your fireplace. When we perform a chimney sweep, we carefully remove this and other dangerous build-ups so you can use your fireplace with confidence and peace of mind. Depending on how often you use the fireplace in your Columbia home, we may also recommend more frequent chimney sweeping services, as build-up may accumulate faster. We take care to ensure that we leave your house free of dust or ash from our work.
