NEED A CHIMNEY INSPECTION?

Whether you’re keeping up with yearly maintenance or have a specific concern, we can help.

It may be time for an inspection if:

Your chimney hasn’t been inspected in the past year
You’re buying or selling a home
You’ve noticed smoke, unusual odors, or signs of water damage
You’re changing appliances or fuel types
Your chimney has experienced a fire or storm damage

You don’t need all the answers before reaching out. Tell us a little about your situation, and we’ll help you take the next step.

The Gold Standard in Chimney Care

Your home deserves nothing less than the best. That’s why every our team is CSIA Certified. This badge is not just a title—it’s a guarantee that our specialists know every corner, crevice, and code of the chimney world.

It’s about catching the crack before it becomes a chasm, clearing the flue before it becomes a fire hazard, and knowing the difference between a quick fix and a job done right.

A Closer Look

DOES YOUR CHIMNEY NEED AN INSPECTION?

A chimney can look fine from your living room while damage, buildup, or blockages develop out of sight. An inspection helps identify concerns that aren’t always obvious before they interfere with how your fireplace, stove, or furnace vents.

An inspection can help uncover:

Cracks or deterioration in accessible chimney components
Creosote buildup or obstructions in the flue
Signs of moisture damage or leaking
Concerns with appliance connections and venting

What we can examine depends on the inspection level and access to your system. We’ll help determine how closely your chimney needs to be evaluated.

SCHEDULE INSPECTION

The Right Inspection

Three Levels of CHIMNEY INSPECTIONs

Level 1

An examination of readily accessible chimney and appliance components for visible damage, buildup, and obstructions. Included with our standard chimney sweeps.

When it’s needed:
Annual maintenance when your system’s use hasn’t changed and there are no known problems.

Level 2

Everything covered in Level 1, plus an interior video scan of the flue and an examination of additional accessible areas, such as attics and crawl spaces.

When it’s needed:
Buying or selling a home, making certain appliance or fuel changes, or investigating suspected chimney damage.

Level 3

A more extensive inspection of concealed areas that may require opening walls or removing portions of the chimney to reach a suspected hazard.

When it’s needed:
A Level 1 or Level 2 inspection reveals concerns that cannot be fully evaluated without additional access.

Our Commitment

What to Expect During Your Chimney Inspection Appointment

Here’s how to prepare for your chimney inspection to help the appointment go off without a hitch:

Don’t use your fireplace or wood stove for at least 24 hours before we arrive so it has time to cool down.

Please keep pets and small children in another room during the service visit.

Clear the area around your fireplace or wood stove to give the technician room to work.

Excellent service from the front desk, Michala, to the first technician, Darryl, to the chimney liner guy(can’t remember his name - sorry!), to the install crew, Kevin and Austin! Everyone was very communicative, friendly and competent. If you have chimney needs or want to install a gas fireplace insert, this is the place to go. I feel like I got a competitive price and I absolutely love my new fireplace insert. I actually turned off my furnace, and the house is more comfortable! I leave my furnace fan on, so my UV light (installed by Platinum Plumbing) will continue to sterilize my air. I’m excited to enjoy the fireplace for the rest of the winter and even during the summer, since I can run it at a low flame. You guys are the best, and I feel very secure knowing my product is installed correctly for safe and reliable operation. Thank you very much to the whole team at Salters! Oh yeah, and they have green egg stuff there, too!! 7/22/26: I had Kody service my fireplace. He was terrific: put shoe covers on before entering the home, introduced himself, told me what he was doing, how long it would take, set up a drop cloth in his work area, and he was right on time. Thank you, Kody!

We purchased our gas insert fireplace from Salter’s ten years ago and Salter’s serviced our fireplace since purchase. We experienced a severe storm that blew off our chimney cap and the rain damaged one of our electronic control modules. Service Technician Greg Cole did a great job replacing the module and performing annual maintenance. The fireplace looks good as new and the embers glow brilliantly and the flames follow the contours of the logs. Well done, Salter’s!

My experience with Salters was positive in all aspects: Kristen in the showroom was very knowledgeable about my gas fireplace options and Amanda in scheduling was very efficient with arranging times for initial measurement appointment with Lou, to chimney inspection with Darryl and then for installation with Kevin and Sean. Everyone was very professional and respectful of each other, me and my home. And the final results are fabulous— I’m looking forward to using my beautiful new fireplace this winter!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a chimney inspection cost?

Chimney inspection costs depend on the inspection level, the number of flues, access to the system, and whether cleaning is needed to examine its condition. A routine Level 1 inspection has a different scope than a Level 2 video inspection or a more involved investigation. Tell us about your chimney and the reason for your appointment, and we’ll explain the recommended service and pricing.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

Have your chimney inspected annually, even if you don’t use your fireplace often. Moisture, animal nesting, and deterioration can affect a chimney between uses. Additional inspections may be appropriate after a chimney fire, suspected storm damage, changes to your heating system, or when buying or selling a home.

What’s the difference between a chimney sweep and a chimney inspection?

A chimney sweep removes soot, creosote, and debris, while an inspection evaluates the system’s condition within the scope of the inspection level. Our standard chimney sweeps include a complimentary Level 1 inspection. A Level 2 inspection goes further, including an interior video scan and examination of additional accessible areas.

Do I need a chimney inspection when buying or selling a home?

A Level 2 chimney inspection is recommended when a property is being sold or transferred. It provides a closer evaluation of the chimney, including an interior video scan that may reveal liner damage or other concerns. A general home inspection may not include this level of chimney evaluation, so confirm what is covered before relying on it.

What happens if you find a problem during my chimney inspection?

We’ll explain what we find, why it matters, and what additional evaluation, cleaning, or repairs may be recommended. If we identify a concern that makes continued use unsafe, we’ll explain why the affected fireplace or appliance should remain out of use until it is addressed. You’ll have a clearer understanding of the issue before deciding how to move forward.
