We Perform Thorough Visual & Video Chimney Inspections

Is your chimney liner damaged? Are there animals living inside? What about water damage? What’s causing all the smoke problems? Without taking a good look at the inside of your chimney, it’s virtually impossible to know what’s going on up there. That’s why the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) urge homeowners to make annual inspections part of their home maintenance plan. Have you had your chimney inspected this year?

The seasoned professionals here at Chimney Sweep Plus proudly offer homeowners in Hickory, Boone, Lenoir, Taylorsville, Morganton, and beyond these expert chimney inspections:

  • Visual Inspections. When your chimney and fireplace or stove are working like normal and you haven’t made any real changes, a visual inspection is likely all you will need each year. During a visual inspection, we’ll look at all easily accessible areas of the system and inspect for any blockages or signs of issues. If we find something that raises concerns and we need a closer look, we may recommend a video inspection.
  • Video Inspections. Video inspections are vital for those times when we need a better look at the interior of the chimney system. During a video inspection, we insert a video camera down into or up into the chimney so we can get a clear, close look at every easily accessible area of the chimney and fireplace – including the interior of the flue. Video inspections are recommended if you’ve made a change to your system, swapped appliances, swapped fuel types, or noticed performance issues or changes. These are also needed if you’ve experienced a chimney fire or severe weather event that could have caused damage.
