Vancouver Chimney Inspection
Chimney inspections can avert further damage and identify problems that may exist before they become worse. Inspecting your chimney annually is as necessary as cleaning it annually. So, our team at Vancouver Chimney Sweep does both!
When the chimney system breaks down, it is not always obvious, and some homeowners often feel that an unused fireplace won't develop any issues. However, one of the most unsafe situations is when people think they can use their chimney after not using it for a long time, even when your chimney may have deteriorated the last time you used it. It's possible that the chimney has been blocked since you have used it last. These hidden issues have the potential to lead to a house fire or endanger your household via carbon monoxide poisoning. A lot of the dangerous (and sometimes deadly)house fires each year occur as a result of using a neglected fireplace after a long period of it being unused.

It is always necessary to fix a damaged chimney immediately to prevent a potential house fire. The only way to know if you need chimney repair is through a thorough chimney sweep and inspection. Our chimney cleaning and chimney inspection services differ from each other. It is best to thoroughly diagnose the well-being of your chimney system before doing a cleaning. Even though a Vancouver homeowner may seldomly use their fireplace and only burns wood, it is still crucial to assess your chimney flue to check for damage or blockage. Our professional chimney cleaning staff is happy to offer the following services:
Level 1 Chimney Inspection
You need a Level 1 chimney inspection if:
- The chimney performance has not changed noticeably.
- The venting system remains unchanged.
- You want to determine the safety of your fireplace, chimney, or other heating system.
It is important to do inspections of your chimney flue yearly. We also recommend to schedule this service when you want to schedule a chimney sweep service. Our local Vancouver chimney sweep technician will check the accessible exterior and interior parts of the chimney, including the firebox, smoke chamber, stove pipe, damper, chimney cap, chimney exterior, chimney crown, masonry, and more! We will also check if the entire chimney system contains any combustible deposits. We will also check for cracks or cracks in the outer part of the structure of the chimney roof.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
You need a level 2 chimney inspection if:
- You plan to modify your fireplace or chimney
- You bought a home and are not aware of how the chimney performs
A Level 2 chimney inspection includes inspecting the whole chimney system thoroughly, as well as the furnace or wood stove. We will look at all surfaces and internal joints. Our team will use a special video camera to examine the internal part of the chimney flue so we can see everything up close.
Level 3 Chimney Inspection
This type of inspection is often rare. It includes all of the elements of the level 1 and 2 inspections. It also includes extensive investigating for possible deterioration in the most inaccessible areas of your chimney flue. We will help remove heating system components like chimney crowns, bricks, masonry, metal flue pipes, and more. You need a Level 3 inspection only when Level 1 and 2 inspections reveal a severe issue in your fireplace or chimney that requires immediate action.

Whether it’s dryer vents, air ducts, fireplaces, woodstoves, gas fireplaces, or chimneys, Vancouver Chimney Sweep knows all about the difficulties of home ventilation systems.
