The work

Chimney Inspection in Tacoma

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

Chimney Inspection in the Washington climate

Western Washington has a long, mild, wet season and windstorms. East of the Cascades, winters are cold and snowy.

Months of rain soak masonry and rust caps and chase covers. Flashing and crowns are the usual leak points.

FAQ

Chimney Inspection questions

Which inspection level do I need?

A Level 1 for a yearly check of a chimney you already use. A Level 2 when you buy or sell, change the appliance or fuel, or after a chimney fire, storm or earthquake.

Do I need an inspection before buying a home?

Yes. A Level 2 inspection with a camera scan is the standard for a home sale, because the inside of the flue can't be seen from the firebox.

Do you offer chimney inspection in Tacoma?

Yes. Our own technicians do chimney inspection in Tacoma and nearby towns, from A1 Chimney - Seattle ((206) 274-5977).
