What is chimney inspection?
A chimney inspection assesses the structural and operational safety of your chimney system per NFPA 211 standards. Level 1 covers readily accessible areas (annual); Level 2 includes video scope and is required after property transfer, system change, or hazardous event; Level 3 involves invasive examination when concealed damage is suspected.
Common signs you need this service
- You just bought the home, or are about to, and have no records of when the chimney was last looked at.
- There's been a strong storm, fallen branch, or roof work near the chimney and you want to confirm nothing was damaged.
- You're planning to use a fireplace that has sat unused for a season or more and aren't sure it's still safe to light.
- You see staining, cracks, or crumbling masonry on the chimney from the ground and want to know how deep it goes.

- On-site inspection with photos
- Written quote before any work begins
- Code-compliant materials only
- Drop cloths + HEPA vacuum cleanup

How a chimney inspection job runs.
Review The History
We start by asking how the fireplace is used and when it was last serviced so the inspection targets what matters for your home.
Inspect Inside And Out
We examine the firebox, flue, damper, crown, and exterior masonry from the readily accessible areas, top to bottom.
Document Findings
We photograph anything notable and record the condition of each component so you have a clear written record.
Explain Next Steps
We walk you through what's in good shape and what needs attention, with a straightforward plan and no pressure.
Why DFW homeowners pick Texas Service Experts for chimney inspection.
We've worked on 1,000+ DFW homes over 10+ years. Every job — small sweep or full rebuild — runs the same way: certified technicians, written quotes, photo reports, warranty in writing.
A TSE inspection looks at your chimney as one piece of the whole home — we can flag a venting or insulation issue in the same attic crawl, so you get a fuller picture of your house instead of a single isolated report.
We document every finding with clear photos and plain-language notes, so you're never guessing what we saw up on the roof or relying on a verbal 'looks fine' you can't act on later.
Because we handle the repairs ourselves, an inspection that turns up a problem doesn't mean chasing down a separate contractor — the same team you already trust can scope and schedule the fix.

Chimney Inspection by location
Common questions about chimney inspection.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Home Care Plan membership?
Home Care Plan is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
