Chimney Inspection
A graded NFPA 211 Level 1, 2, or 3 inspection with a documented photo report.
Learn moreA Texas option period is short, and a general home inspector's chimney note is usually one line: recommend evaluation by a specialist. This is that evaluation — a full NFPA 211 Level 2 with the camera scan, packaged for a real estate file. We scan the flue end to end, assess liner, smoke chamber, crown, cap, and flashing, and separate what is a safety defect from what is cosmetic, because those two things negotiate very differently. The deliverable is a dated written report with photographs, the video scan, and a priced repair scope, turned around inside the option window — something a buyer, a seller, or an agent can put on the table.
Prices shown are starting estimates and may change with the condition, access, and scope we find on site. Only a written quote from an on-site visit is a price we commit to.

At Texas Chimney Experts, a real estate transaction report is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the real estate transaction report is built on.

Family-owned, CSIA-certified, NFPA 211–compliant. We're the team you call when you want it done right the first time — no rotating subcontractors, no upsell pressure, no surprises. Same techs, same trucks, same standard.

The standard is condition-driven, not calendar-driven: NFPA 211 ties cleaning to a measured 1/8" of creosote accumulation, and a Level 1 inspection is the way we confirm you've reached it. For a wood-burning fireplace in regular use that typically lands at once per heating season — but we measure the buildup and tell you what the flue actually shows rather than assuming.
Yes — and verifiably so. Our inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications you can confirm yourself in the CSIA member directory at csia.org, and our fireplace work is handled by NFI specialists. We name the standard we inspect to so you can check the credential behind the report.
Yes. We respond 24/7 (subject to crew availability) to the situations that can't wait for a diagnosis later — an active water leak into the home, an animal trapped in the flue, post-fire hazards, and storm damage. We make the system safe first, then document the cause; same-day in most cases.
Always — and with the evidence attached. Before any work starts you receive a written quote backed by photos of exactly what we found and why it needs attention. Final pricing follows the documented condition of the chimney and anything the inspection turns up, not a number guessed before we've looked.
