OVERVIEW
Know Your Chimney Is Safe Before You Light a Fire
Your chimney carries smoke and combustion gases out of your home, and over a season it collects creosote, cracks, and small failures you cannot see from the living room. A residential chimney inspection gives you an honest picture of its condition, so you can heat your home with confidence and protect your family from a chimney fire or a carbon monoxide problem.
Our certified inspectors examine the chimney, the flue, and the connected fireplace or appliance, then hand you a clear written report with photos and plain next steps. You will know what is in good shape, what needs attention, and what can wait. If we find a problem, we point you to the right fix, without pressure.

What Our Clients Say
Mike S.
Chimney Professionals did a terrific job cleaning my two wood burning fireplaces in a Manhattan brownstone. They came within one day. Their equipment is state of the art, and it was all done in less than 30 minutes. Everything kept spotless. The price was right too.

Not only did they answer right away, they had Rod at my door first thing Monday morning and sourced a hard to find part same day when others could not. They beat every other quote I got and had our system back up and running in under an hour.

Bruce S.
The chimney in my 115 year old brick rowhouse had a badly deteriorated terra cotta lining. Michael gave me a fair price, was punctual, and while spending more time than he expected, stuck to the original price. Kudos to Michael for getting a tricky job done.

Mike and his team are phenomenal. Very quick to respond and schedule and then more importantly, absolute professionals. Deep cleaned the chimney and made sure they cleaned any residual dust around the area.

They were able to come out next day and fix our gas fireplace issue. They listened to all of our concerns and addressed any questions we had while thoroughly explaining the work that needed to be done. The price was fair and upfront.

FAQ
Home Chimney Inspection Questions
Once a year is the standard for a fireplace or appliance in regular use, even if you do not use it often, since animals, weather, and time all affect the flue.
Most homes need a Level I annual inspection. A Level II is for a home sale or after a change to the system. A Level III is for a suspected hidden problem. We help you choose when you call.
A Level II inspection is the recognized standard for a sale or transfer, and the written report gives your buyer confidence.
Yes. We check the fireplace and the appliance along with the chimney and flue, since they work as one system.
A standard inspection usually takes about an hour, longer if we add a video scan or testing.
We explain it clearly and put it in your report. If a repair is needed, our residential repair and draft correction services can take care of it, but the choice is always yours.
It depends on the type of inspection and your home. We give you a free estimate up front, so you know the price before we start.
