Aurora, IL · Chimney Inspection
A chimney inspection checks the flue, firebox, damper, crown, cap and flashing so you know the chimney is safe to use and what, if anything, needs repair.

The work
A Level 1 inspection covers everything you can reach without tools: the firebox, damper, flue opening, crown, cap and flashing. A Level 2 adds a camera scan of the whole flue and is the right choice when you buy or sell a home, change fuel, or after a chimney fire or an earthquake.
You get photos and a written report of what we find. If the chimney needs repair, the price is written down before any work starts.
See the full chimney inspection page for every detail of the work.
Why it matters here
Chicagoland has long, cold winters with lake-effect snow, hot summers, and a lot of brick bungalows and two-flats.
Freeze-thaw breaks down mortar and spalls brick, and many older chimneys need tuckpointing, a new crown or a liner for a newer furnace or water heater.
