While your chimney may not require frequent sweeps, the National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection.

To keep you fully informed, our technicians document the inspection process with photographs and provide you with a detailed condition report upon the completion of our services. Given that we offer a range of services, including sweeps, waterproofing, animal removals, installations, and repairs, we are well-equipped to address any necessary chimney and fireplace maintenance for you.
Neglecting an assessment of your chimney or fireplace can easily have life-altering consequences for both you and your home. Some degree of chimney deterioration is common because chimneys continuously absorb moisture. A masonry chimney behaves much like a sponge, as it is porous and absorbs and releases water. Over time, this cycle causes the brick and mortar to deteriorate, resulting in a leaky chimney. A leaky chimney, in turn, leads to brick discoloration, rusted chimney and fireplace components, mold growth, and unpleasant odors.
These water-related issues are not exclusive to masonry chimneys; prefabricated chimneys can also experience leaks that yield similar consequences. Therefore, even if your chimney is not in active use, it is crucial to have it inspected regularly to ensure your safety and prevent costly damage to your home.
The good news is that you can take proactive steps to avoid unforeseen circumstances stemming from a neglected chimney. Allstar Chimney Sweep Chunchula is fully prepared to assist you in scheduling your annual inspection today, providing you with the assurance that your chimney poses no threat to you and your home.

Chimney sweeps are vital to the lifespan of your chimney and in promoting safety in your home as a whole. A sweep removes soot and creosote to help you avoid the devastating result of a chimney or house fire. They also offer the great benefit of providing the technician performing the sweep with the opportunity to complete an inspection on your fireplace and chimney to make sure other safety measures are also in place.

What to Expect During a Chimney Inspection
Your home is a place of warmth and pride. Your fireplace should take part in that feeling. Fireplaces provide warmth and comfort throughout the fall and winter months through housing an open fire. Just like any other part of the home, your chimney and fireplace system will require regular maintenance. Regular maintenance and upkeep will ensure that the chimney and fireplace system are functioning properly and safely.
A sweep and inspection are important to uncover the hidden secrets of the chimney system. Performing these steps uncovers needed to be repairs, remove any blockages, and flammable materials. With that being said, there are a few questions to answer.
How often should I have an inspection performed?
According to the National Fire Protection Association, it states that chimneys should be inspected and swept at least once a year, if not twice a year.
What should I expect during an inspection?
Normally, chimney inspections will follow a three-level format. Each level determines how in-depth the inspection will be. This is given to the homeowner afterwards by the technician.
The Three Levels of Chimney Inspections
Level 1:
A Level 1 chimney inspection is the standard base inspection. The chimney technician will examine the chimney to ensure that there are no structural issues, obstructions, or damage to the chimney system. This inspection covers the easily accessible areas of the chimney exterior, interior, and connections. A Level 1 inspection does not require specialized tools.
Level 2:
Level 2 inspections are required when a change occurs within the chimney system. Such changes can include change of fuel type, shape or material in the flue (such as lining). Adding or replacing an appliance will also require an inspection. Also, this level is mandatory when selling or transferring a property. Malfunctions and damage caused by external factors such as extreme weather or building or chimney fires also call for a Level 2 inspection.
There is no need for specialty tools to perform a Level 2 inspection. However, it does include an internal visual inspection performed with video scanning or other means.
Level 3:
A Level 1 or a Level 2 inspection may reveal hidden hazards. In this case, a Level 3 inspection will be required. Level 3 inspection involves specialized tools and may require the removal of some of the building or chimney to access problematic areas.
Annual inspections ensure that your chimney system is operating properly.
