Our team uses state-of-the-art technology for safety assessment of your chimney, making sure it’s safe, efficient, and in full compliance with industry standards.

Commercial Chimney Inspection Services

Our Chimney Inspection Services Cover

Routine chimney inspections are critical for identifying potential hazards and preventing costly repairs. United Chimney Corporation goes beyond a basic visual check. Our chimney specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate every component of your chimney system.

High Definition Video Scans

Our HD cameras capture a clear internal view of your flue, revealing creosote buildup, cracks, or hidden obstructions that standard inspections cannot detect.

Draft and Pressure Testing

Testing airflow makes sure your chimney vents safely. These checks help identify blockages or backdrafts that could allow carbon monoxide into your property.

Structural Integrity Assessment

A thorough structural inspection of your chimney’s masonry, crown, cap, and flashing detects water penetration, cracks, or deterioration that may weaken its integrity.

Creosote Level Evaluation

With a detailed review, we identify the type and thickness of creosote deposits, determining (if and) when professional cleaning or maintenance is required.

Flue Liner Condition Check

Flue liner inspection identifies liner cracks, gaps, or wear that could allow fumes or heat to escape into surrounding walls or living areas, helping us fix them early on.

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association suggests getting an inspection once a year, no matter how often you use your fireplace. If your chimney gets heavy use, scheduling more frequent checks can help keep everything running safely.

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

An inspection looks at your chimney’s overall condition and finds potential issues. A cleaning removes creosote, soot, and blockages. If you prefer, we can handle both services during the same visit for convenience.

How long does a typical chimney inspection take?

Most chimney inspections last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on your system’s size and current condition. If your property has multiple chimneys, it may take a bit longer.

What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?

If we discover an issue, we explain everything to you right away. You’ll get a full report with photos, videos, and clear recommendations. We’ll never move forward with repairs until you’ve reviewed and approved the plan.

Do you provide inspection reports for insurance or real estate transactions?

Yes. Your inspection report will be formatted for easy use with insurance claims, fire safety compliance, or real estate transactions. Many of our clients share these reports directly with brokers or adjusters.

Is there a best time of year to schedule a chimney inspection?

You’ll get the most peace of mind by booking in late summer or early fall, before the heating season begins. But if something concerns you, don’t wait. We’ll inspect your chimney at any time of year.
