Chimney Inspection
Professional Chimney Inspection Services by Deer Park Chimney LLC
Why Chimney Inspection Is Essential
Your chimney plays a vital role in venting smoke, gases, and byproducts of combustion safely out of your home. Over time, chimneys can develop issues such as cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, or structural damage. Without a proper chimney inspection, these problems can go unnoticed and lead to chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, or inefficient heating.
A professional chimney inspection ensures that your chimney is functioning safely and effectively. It also helps to extend the life of your fireplace, protect your home, and provide you with peace of mind.
Types of Chimney Inspection Services We Offer
At Deer Park Chimney LLC, we provide three levels of chimney inspection services based on the guidelines from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA):
1. Level 1 Chimney Inspection
This is the most basic chimney inspection, recommended for chimneys that are regularly maintained and have no known issues. We’ll examine the readily accessible portions of your chimney, both inside and outside, to check for blockages, soot buildup, and any structural problems.
2. Level 2 Chimney Inspection
A Level 2 chimney inspection is more detailed and is typically required after changes to the system, such as installing a new appliance, experiencing a chimney fire, or selling a property. This inspection includes everything in Level 1, plus the use of special tools like video scanning equipment to closely examine the interior of the flue.
3. Level 3 Chimney Inspection
This is the most comprehensive chimney inspection and involves removing parts of the chimney or nearby building materials if necessary. It’s only performed when serious hazards are suspected. Our certified technicians will explain every step and only proceed with your approval.
Our Detailed Chimney Inspection Process
When you schedule a chimney inspection with Deer Park Chimney LLC, here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Thorough Visual Inspection
We start with a full exterior and interior inspection to check for visible cracks, damage, or obstructions.
Step 2: Creosote & Soot Check
We assess the levels of creosote and soot, as these materials can pose a fire risk.
Step 3: Chimney Structure Assessment
Our experts examine the flue liner, chimney cap, flashing, and masonry for signs of deterioration or wear.
Step 4: Advanced Video Scan (if needed)
For Level 2 and Level 3 inspections, we use advanced video technology to inspect hidden areas inside your chimney.
Step 5: Report & Recommendations
After completing the chimney inspection, we provide a detailed report with our findings and recommend solutions if repairs or cleaning are needed.

Common Issues Found During Chimney Inspections
During a chimney inspection, we often discover common issues that need to be addressed, such as:
Creosote Buildup: Flammable residue from burning wood that accumulates inside the chimney.
Cracked or Damaged Flue Liners: These can allow heat or gases to escape into your home.
Blockages: Nests, leaves, or debris can block airflow and cause smoke backup.
Masonry Damage: Bricks and mortar can deteriorate over time due to weather and moisture.
Faulty Chimney Caps or Crowns: Missing or damaged caps allow water, animals, and debris to enter the chimney.
By addressing these issues during your chimney inspection, we help prevent future problems and improve the safety of your home.
How Often Should You Schedule a Chimney Inspection?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends a professional chimney inspection at least once per year, even if you rarely use your fireplace. You should also schedule an inspection:
Before starting to use your fireplace for the season.
After any major storm, earthquake, or structural event.
When buying or selling a home.
If you notice smoke issues, strange odors, or poor fireplace performance.
