Chimney Inspections
Most of us realize the importance of regular maintenance for the heating and cooling systems in our homes. But we fall short when we fail to include an annual chimney inspection by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® in our maintenance protocol. Call Chimney Champions today at (904) 268-7200 to book now.
Chimney Sweep/Clean
& Inspection
Regular Chimney
Service & Maintenance
- Initial assessment of chimney system condition
- Full cleaning of the chimney system (as accessible) to remove any combustible deposits (soot, creosote, rust, etc.)
- Visual inspection of readily accessible areas of the chimney system. Plus use of Mavic Pro drone as necessary
- Written report of inspection findings with color photos and any repair recommendations
This service is recommended for chimneys that are serviced and cleaned regularly (at least every 1-3 years), under the same conditions, and with the continued use of the same components. According to the CSIA, a Level 1 inspection is acceptable if your system has not changed, and you plan to continue to use your chimney system as-is moving forward. Not recommended for systems experiencing any issues at this time please see level II comprehensive service.

Why Are Chimney Inspections Important?
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), having your chimney inspected and swept annually reduces the risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning caused by creosote buildup or chimney obstructions. This recommendation for annual chimney inspections is shared by other organizations which include the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the American Lung Association.
Chimneys Support HVAC Systems
When homeowners have their HVAC systems serviced annually but fail to have their chimney cleaned and inspected each year, they’re neglecting a vital part of the home that could be putting family members at risk. While a chimney adds architectural interest to a home, its real purpose is much more important:
- Safely carries dangerous soot and gases such as nitrogen dioxide and acidic water vapors out of the fireplace.
- Creates the draft or flow of air that provides the proper air and fuel mixture for efficient operation of your fireplace.
