Chimney inspection and chimney sweeping are the best ways to keep your family safe from smoke and carbon monoxide inhalation.
The team at EJ Chimney recommends getting your chimney inspected and cleaned at least annually and more frequently for high-use wood-burning stoves and other systems. Fill out our form

Level 1 Chimney Inspection
When we do a Level 1 inspection, we'll examine those parts of the chimney's interior and exterior that are readily accessible as well as the accessible portions of the appliance and connection. We look for all of the following:
- The integrity of flue and structure
- Appliance installation
- Connections
- Combustible deposits
- Debris from animals and birds
- Cracks, gaps, and missing joints
We'll report back to you with our findings and any recommendations based on professional opinion.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
A Level 2 inspection includes everything in a Level 1 inspection, plus the accessible portions of the chimney exterior and interior, including attics, crawlspaces, and basements. It will address proper clearances from combustibles in accessible locations.
A Level 2 inspection requires no special tools (i.e. demolition equipment) to open doors, panels, or coverings. This visual inspection can be made by video scanning to view the internal surfaces and joints of flue liners.
Level 3 Chimney Inspection
Sometimes the findings of a Level 1 or Level 2 inspection suggest that there could be a hidden hazard. When that's the case, special tools will be needed to gain access to the concealed areas to thoroughly evaluate the situation. This is a bigger deal and requires a Level 3 inspection.
With a Level 3 inspection, we need to be able to determine the construction and condition of parts of the chimney and flue that can't be seen. The destruction or removal of parts is not typically necessary at all, and we can usually do an internal video scan to identify any potential hazards.
