Level 1 and Level 2 inspections with photo documentation and written findings, so you see exactly what we see. Next-day scheduling across the metro.
Crown, cap, flashing, and visible masonry condition assessed from ground and roof level.
Accessible interior components inspected for damage, wear, and proper operation.
Every finding backed with photos — not just a verbal opinion you have to take on faith.
A camera run down the flue to catch cracks and damage no visual check alone can find.
A clear summary of condition, recommendations, and supporting photos you can keep.
We tell you what needs attention and what can reasonably wait — in writing.
The first two are personal-preference timing. The next three are the ones that actually require a Level 2.
Annual inspection is the standard recommendation, even if nothing seems wrong.
A leak, a crack, a smoke smell, or a draft issue is always worth a look before it becomes a bigger repair.
Level 2 is the standard required at property transfer, on either side of the transaction.
Level 2 is required after any operating malfunction or external event that could have caused hidden damage.
Switching from wood to gas, or installing a new insert, requires a Level 2 before the new appliance is connected.
The right level depends on why you need one — we'll help you figure out which one applies.
Readily accessible areas, photographed, written findings. Recommended once a year.
Everything in Level 1, plus an interior video scan of the flue.
If we find something during the inspection, quoting the fix costs nothing.
Level 2 costs more because it requires camera equipment and covers more ground — accessible attic, crawl space, and basement areas in addition to everything in Level 1.
Tell us why you need an inspection, or we'll help you figure out which level applies.
Most inspections scheduled within a day or two of your call.
Level 1 or Level 2, with photos taken throughout the visit.
You get findings in writing, not just a verbal rundown on the way out the door.
Level 1 examines readily accessible portions of the chimney and appliance. Level 2 adds accessible attic, crawl space, and basement areas plus an interior video scan of the flue. Level 2 is required at property transfer, after an operating malfunction or external event, or when you change the fuel type or appliance.
A Level 1 inspection is $69 and a Level 2 inspection is $119. Both include photo documentation and written findings.
Yes, in most cases. Level 2 is the standard required at property transfer, and it gives you written documentation with photos that's useful for negotiation whichever side of the sale you're on.
A Level 1 typically takes about an hour. Level 2 takes longer because it covers more areas and includes the video scan — usually 90 minutes to two hours depending on access.
No. If everything checks out, we'll tell you that directly. If something needs attention, you'll see it in the photos and read it in the written findings — not just take our word for it.
Yes, and it's a common pairing. Getting both in one visit means one appointment instead of two, and the inspection often shows us exactly what the sweep needs to focus on.
Roughly 40 miles out from Minneapolis and St. Paul.
