Chimney Inspections in Morris County, NJ
Certified-style Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspections with video flue scans — know exactly what shape your chimney is in.
What's involved
A chimney inspection is how you find out what's happening inside a structure you can't see into. Following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) guidelines, inspections come in three levels — and for nearly all Morris County homeowners, a Level 1 or Level 2 covers it.
A Level 1 inspection examines the readily accessible portions of your chimney, inside and out — ideal as part of annual maintenance. A Level 2 inspection adds a video scan of the entire flue interior plus an attic, crawl space, and basement check. It's the right choice when you're buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire or weather event, or before converting to a new fuel type.
Signs you need chimney inspections (level 1 & 2)
- ● You're buying or selling a home with a fireplace or wood stove
- ● Your chimney survived a chimney fire, lightning strike, or major storm
- ● You're switching fuels (for example, wood to gas, or oil to gas)
- ● You've noticed new cracks, leaning, or water stains on the chimney
- ● Your last inspection was more than a year ago
Our process
- 1
Exterior evaluation
Masonry, crown, cap, flashing, and flue termination are checked for damage and water entry points.
- 2
Interior & firebox check
The firebox, damper, and smoke chamber are examined for cracks, gaps, and proper clearances.
- 3
Video flue scan (Level 2)
A camera travels the full length of the flue, recording the liner's condition tile by tile.
- 4
Written report
You receive photos, findings, and prioritized recommendations — what needs attention now versus what can wait.
What does it cost?
Level 1 inspections in Morris County typically run $99–$199, often bundled with a sweeping. Level 2 inspections with a full video flue scan generally run $249–$449. Real-estate inspections can usually be scheduled within a few business days.
Frequently asked questions
Most home inspectors don't climb the roof or camera-scan the flue, so chimney problems are the most commonly missed defect in a home purchase. A Level 2 inspection before closing can save you from inheriting a $5,000+ relining bill.
