What Does a Chimney Scan Actually Show You?

You’ve probably heard us mention chimney scans in our service descriptions — but what is a chimney scan, and why is it so important?

Let’s break it down:

A Chimney Scan Is a Camera Inspection

We use a specialized high-resolution video system that travels up through your fireplace and chimney. It allows us — and you — to see the inside of your flue, smoke chamber, and liner in real time.

It’s not a guess. It’s not just a flashlight and a mirror. It’s actual footage of your chimney’s condition from top to bottom.

What Can a Chimney Scan Reveal?

• Cracked flue tiles
• Separated joints
• Creosote buildup
• Blockages from nests or debris
• Chimney fires (past or active damage)
• Gaps or voids in the smoke chamber
• Water damage or rusted liners

Why Some Companies Skip This (And Why You Shouldn’t Let Them)

Some chimney companies think scans take too long, or they don’t want to show you what they find. That’s a red flag.

We believe transparency matters. That’s why we always include chimney scan footage in our inspections — so you see what we see.

No Guesswork. No Surprises.

Whether we’re recommending a simple sweep or a full rebuild, the chimney scan helps us give accurate, honest quotes — based on facts.

Peace of Mind Is Priceless.

When we finish your chimney scan, we’ll walk you through the findings and explain everything — no pressure, no scare tactics.
