When to Schedule a Chimney Inspection

- If you see cracks, missing mortar, damaged caps, or staining
- After a roof leak near the chimney
- Before approving chimney repairs or a rebuild
What We Look For
Visible masonry damage, deteriorated mortar, cap and crown issues, water staining, flashing concerns, damper function, visible creosote buildup, exterior deterioration, and roof and chimney transition issues when safely accessible.
FAQ
If the chimney needs cleaning, start with a sweep. If you are concerned about condition, leaks, visible damage, or a real estate transaction, schedule an inspection.
Yes. We specialize in both chimney and roofing work, so we can evaluate visible chimney and roof-transition issues that often contribute to leaks.

What a chimney condition review can identify
A chimney inspection reviews accessible components for visible concerns such as deteriorated masonry or mortar, crown and cap problems, flashing issues, moisture entry, and conditions that may affect safe use. The recommended next step depends on what is accessible and observed.
When to request an inspection
Consider an inspection after a leak, storm damage, a long period without use, visible cracking or movement, or before planning repairs. Share any history of water entry, smoke problems, or prior work.
Possible next steps
Findings may point to a chimney sweep, targeted repair, or rebuild evaluation. A standard sweep does not replace a more detailed inspection when conditions call for one.
