Level 1 Chimney Inspection Service
Ensure Safe and Reliable Chimney Performance
If your appliance or venting system has not changed and you plan to continue using it as before, a Level 1 inspection is the minimum requirement. This inspection is recommended for chimneys under continued service, with no modifications, and with the same appliance in use.

Improved Efficiency
Extended Chimney Life
What is a Level 1 Chimney Inspection?
A Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment designed to evaluate the overall condition and safety of your chimney. It is recommended for homeowners who:
- Use the same heating appliance and fuel type as before.
- Have not made modifications to their venting system.
- Want to ensure their chimney remains in good working condition.
During a Level 1 inspection, our trained chimney technicians will assess:
- Readily accessible portions of the chimney’s exterior and interior.
- Accessible portions of the appliance and chimney connection.
- The structural soundness of the chimney and flue.
- The appliance installation and connection for safety and proper operation.
- The chimney’s interior for blockages, combustible deposits, or other obstructions.
Why is a Level 1 Inspection Important?
- Ensures Safety – Prevents fire hazards and identifies any concerns before they become serious.
- Maintains Efficiency – Helps your chimney function properly, reducing creosote buildup and improving airflow.
- Extends Chimney Lifespan – Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and prolongs the life of your chimney system.
When Should You Schedule a Level 1 Inspection?
- Annually – Regular inspections help detect and prevent potential chimney issues.
- Before the Heating Season – Ensure your chimney is ready for safe and efficient operation.
- After Long Periods of Non-Use – Verify that no obstructions or damage have occurred during inactivity.
