Chimney Inspection in Portland, OR
A chimney inspection catches hidden problems before they become dangerous or expensive. Prime Chimney performs inspections to NFPA 211 standards, from a basic Level 1 visual check to detailed Level 2 real estate and insurance inspections with camera documentation.
What's the difference between Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections?
Level 1 is a visual inspection of accessible areas. Level 2 adds camera inspection of the flue and is required for real estate transfers or after a chimney fire. Level 3 involves removal of components to access hidden areas when a hazard is suspected.
Do I need an inspection if I don't use my fireplace?
Yes. Weather, animals, and settling can damage a chimney even when unused. An annual inspection ensures the structure remains safe.
Can you inspect a chimney for a home purchase?
Absolutely. We provide Level 2 inspections with camera documentation for real estate transactions throughout the Portland metro area.
