Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
