  • Camera inside the flue — photos you keep
  • What’s urgent, what can wait — and what is fine
  • Buying or selling? — know before your conditions date

When To Book A Chimney Inspection

Most people call us for one of these reasons.

You’re Buying Or Selling A Home

Know what the chimney needs before your conditions date, with photos to back it up.

It Hasn’t Been Looked At In Years

Or you don’t know when it was. An inspection tells you where it stands.

Something Seems Off

Smoke in the room, a smell, water near the fireplace, or debris in the firebox.

After A Hard Winter

Freeze-thaw and wind damage the crown, cap and flashing — often out of sight from the ground.

Before The First Fire

A fireplace that has sat unused deserves a look before it is lit again.

You Want A Second Look

Been told you need a big repair? See the photos and decide for yourself.

Not sure which one you’re seeing? That is what the free inspection is for. Book it here or call (416) 505-6228.

How We Inspect A Chimney

Every visit starts with protecting your home and ends with photos and a clean work area.

Step 01

Interior

Firebox, damper, smoke chamber and the flue — the condition of the liner, mortar joints and any buildup.

Step 02

Exterior

Cap, crown, brick, mortar and flashing checked from the roof, not the driveway.

Step 03

Document

Every issue photographed, so you see exactly what we see.

Step 04

Explain

A plain-language summary on-site: what needs attention now, what can wait, what is fine.

Questions About Chimney Inspection

Anything else — call (416) 505-6228.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. The technician comes to your home, looks at the chimney, explains what they see and prices any recommended work on the spot. No obligation — you decide from there.

What does a chimney inspection include?

A full visual check — flue, liner, damper, firebox, brick and mortar, crown, cap and flashing — documented with photos and explained on-site in plain language.

Do I get something in writing?

Yes — the photos, and a written summary of what needs attention, what can wait, and what is fine as it is.

Can you inspect a chimney before I buy a home?

Yes. Tell us your timeline when you book and we’ll do our best to fit the visit before your conditions date. If your lender or insurer asks for a specific type of report, check what they require first, so we can tell you whether ours fits.

How long does an inspection take?

It depends on the chimney and access. We give you a realistic window when we confirm the visit, and we don’t rush the look-over.
