A chimney inspection is an investment that can help uncover potential safety hazards and reduce your risk of a chimney fire. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that you have your chimney inspected annually. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, it's important to have your chimney inspected to check for hidden damage such as cracks, leaks, pests and structural problems.

Why do you need a chimney inspection?
Each year a significant number of injuries and deaths as well as $200 million in property losses occur due to neglected chimneys. It's important to have your chimney inspected as soon as you notice any issues. Even if you have not experienced any issues, you should still have your chimney inspected annually to prevent costly repairs.
If you plan to upgrade or change your heating system, you need to find out if your chimney can handle the venting requirements. If you have not used your fireplace in a long time, it's a good idea to get an inspection. An animal or bird may have built a nest inside your chimney flue without you knowing. Their nest can clog your chimney, posing a serious safety hazard. Winter freezing and thawing can also do major damage to masonry and liner materials over time. Weather damage can eventually affect the structural integrity of your chimney.
