What We Check
A methodical, top-to-bottom evaluation — documented with photos so you see what we see. Chimney inspection Portland buyers, sellers and insurers accept — written, photographed, dated.
Flue & Liner Condition
We inspect the flue and liner for cracks, gaps, and creosote glaze that can’t be seen from the firebox.
Crown, Cap & Chase Cover
The top of your chimney is where water gets in — we check the crown, cap, and chase cover for damage.
Masonry & Mortar Joints
Spalling brick and failing mortar joints are graded for water intrusion and structural risk.
Flashing & Roof Seal
We check the flashing where the chimney meets the roof — a top source of ceiling and attic leaks.
Firebox & Damper
The firebox, damper, and smoke chamber are checked for cracks, rust, and safe operation.
Blockages & Hazards
We look for nests, debris, and obstructions that block draft and create carbon-monoxide risk.
A Real Inspection, Documented
Every inspection comes with photos and a plain-English summary — no guesswork.
