The NFPA Standards states you should have a level 2 inspection completed at the time of any real estate transactions. This is partially for the safety of your family, and also to protect you from hidden costly repairs after you move in.

The NFPA states you should have your chimney checked once per year to protect your family from chimney fires and dangerous fumes that could make their way into your home if your chimney isn’t performing properly.

Inspection Report Included

With Smalling Masonry, when we do an inspection we are inspecting the full system inside and out, fireplace to rain cap, including running a camara up the chimney flue. We will be taking multiple pictures of the system through out the process and we provide a full detailed multipage report of the system much like a home inspection report but solely focusing on the fireplace/chimney system. Our inspection report will include codes, suggestions, and the pictures taken throughout the process. This type of appointment usually takes roughly 2 hours.

Fireplace Inspection

Our Safety Inspections provide you with peace of mind and protection to ensure your fireplace and chimney continue at optimum performance. Your appliance needs care and maintenance to ensure the enjoyment and safety for your family. The NFPA states you should have your chimney checked once per year to protect your family from chimney fires and dangerous fumes that could make their way into your home if your chimney isn’t performing properly.

Fireplace Sweep

It is a good idea to have an inspection completed by a CSIA certified chimney sweep periodically to keep maintenance costs down, catching issues as they come up. This includes a camera inspection of the inside of the chimney liner and smoke chamber. Visual inspection of the flashing, crown, masonry, rain cap, and all other exterior portions of the chimney. We do sweep the chimney if needed prior to the level 2 inspection. This service is included in the price.
