CSIA-aligned. BBB A+. 12-city North Dallas. Same-day Garland. Older masonry expertise. Closing-file reports. —Why Garland homeowners need a chimney inspection
Garland’s 1955-1985 build era means most chimneys are now 40-70 years old. **At that age the questions worth answering are mechanical** — is the original clay flue tile cracked? Are the mortar joints holding? Has the smoke chamber spalled? Is the original galvanized cap rusted to the point of allowing animal entry? **None of that is visible from inside the house.** Inspection is the answer. The Garland real-estate market also produces steady inspection demand. Many Garland transactions involve estate sales, rental-flip resales, and inherited properties — all of which benefit from a documented chimney condition before listing. The hail factor is real here too — Garland is in the active DFW hail corridor and post-storm Level 1 inspection requests are routine, especially in 75044 (newer Firewheel) and 75043 (parts of which sit in tornado-warning event paths). Long-tenure Garland homes are common — families that have owned and used the fireplace continuously for 30-50+ years often have no documentation. An inspection establishes a baseline. —What is included in our Garland chimney inspection

**Q: My family inherited a 1968 Garland home — what should we know before lighting the fireplace?** A: Don’t light it. Get a Level 1 inspection first. After 30-50 years of unrecorded use, the answers matter — flue-tile cracks, animal entry, smoke chamber condition. The inspection is cheap; the alternative isn’t. **Q: We are listing an estate property in 75041 — what package do you recommend?** A: Estate documentation: Level 2 inspection">Level 2 inspection with comprehensive photos. Gives the buyer’s agent and inspector everything they need, reduces re-inspection time, speeds the close. **Q: How long does a Garland inspection take?** A: Level 1 — 30-45 minutes. Level 2 with video — 60-90 minutes. Report emailed same day. **Q: Will an inspection reveal that I need a re-line?** A: It can. If flue-tile cracks are extensive (common on 60+ year chimneys), a re-line may be the right answer. We document and quote separately — your decision. **Q: Are Garland inspections priced differently than newer cities?** A: Same baseline pricing. Estate-sale documentation packages are priced separately because they include extra photo coverage. —Customer review — Garland
> “Inherited my grandparents’ 1965 home in Duck Creek and the chimney had been used for 60 winters with — as far as we know — zero professional service. TCE came out same day, ran a thorough Level 2 inspection with the camera, photographed everything, and gave me a clear-eyed report: structurally sound, sweep needed, two minor mortar repairs recommended. Total inspection plus sweep ran under $400. No scare tactics, no oversell. We listed the house with the inspection report attached and it sold in 11 days.” — *M. Soto, Garland 75040* —CTA
