Chimney Inspection Questions
A Clearer Next Step
You don't have to diagnose the problem before getting help.
Talk to Santa ChimneyWhen does a chimney inspection make sense?
An inspection can make sense when you notice damage, leaks, smoke or draft changes, are buying a home, haven't used the fireplace recently or don't know the chimney's service history. Describe your concern when scheduling.
What does a chimney inspection look at?
The technician evaluates relevant visible and accessible chimney, fireplace, flue and exterior components. This may include masonry, the crown or cap, the roof connection, firebox surfaces and visible debris. Scope depends on access and the inspection being performed.
What is a video chimney inspection?
A video inspection uses camera equipment to get a closer view of accessible interior areas of the chimney system. Ask about the appropriate inspection level and what is included when booking.
Does visible damage always mean I need a repair?
Not every situation is the same. An inspection helps clarify visible conditions and whether cleaning, repair or further evaluation may be appropriate. Findings and recommended next steps are explained before you decide on further work.
Do you offer home-buyer chimney inspections?
Yes. Santa Chimney Sweep offers home-buyer chimney inspections for buyers and homeowners who want more information about a property's chimney and fireplace. Share your purchase timeline and any specific concerns when scheduling.
Do I need to know exactly what's wrong before calling?
No. Tell us what you're seeing, what another contractor mentioned or why you want the chimney checked. You don't need to diagnose the problem yourself.
