Chimney Inspections
Having your chimney inspected by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® before lighting your first fire of the season, is the #1 way to prevent potential damage to your home or even the loss of life that may result from a damaged or blocked chimney.
At First Response Chimney, we understand that regular chimney inspections are crucial for maintaining the safety and functionality of your chimney. Our CSIA certified and experienced technicians are equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide you with a variety of chimney inspection services to suit your needs.
Choose from our Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections, each including a thorough examination of your chimney's interior and exterior components like the flue, fireplace, wood stove, gas appliance/flue, chimney cap/attic, and more. For precise identification of any potential issues, we offer chimney video scan/inspection services capturing real-time footage of the inside of your chimney.
Our inspections are designed to detect and eliminate hazards such as creosote buildup, carbon monoxide leaks, and fire risks. We provide detailed inspection reports/documentation, picture documentation, and maintenance plans to assist in the upkeep of your chimney.
Aside from protecting your home and loved ones, our chimney inspection reports/documentation are useful for filing insurance claims as many insurance companies require them for coverage of damages. A maintained and inspected chimney may also generate discounted property insurance premiums, offsetting the cost of regular maintenance.

Chimney Inspections
EXCELLENT Based on 546 reviews Posted on Philip MontefioreDecember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The installation of our LOPI AGP pellet stove was completed in a timely manner by Mark and his associate. Upon completion, Mark took his time to fully explain everything we needed to know, as 1st time owners, about our new pellet stove. He wrapped up his day when he felt confident that our new pellet stove was running properly, and we had no more questions about the operation, and future maintenance.Posted on Achase4uDecember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joseph came to inspect our chimney. He was very professional and took his time looking everything over inside and out. He explained everything well so I could understand what the state of the chimney was as well as my options moving forward. I was confident in his knowledge and advice.Posted on Justin EllerDecember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great company full of dedicated folks that care about getting you the service and products that you need.Posted on Tommie ReberDecember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We inquired about getting a Pellet Stove Insert to replace a Gas Insert that came with our house when we bought. Sent an email to First Response and they gave me an amazingly detailed breakdown of the process and costs. Their responses were fast and detailed. The attention to detail in our project was top notch. If you are looking for a company that prizes communication and attention to the details of your project, I believe this is who you're looking to use.Posted on Jennifer ScheulenDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great service, highly recommend.Posted on Virginia StreeterDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a slapped together chimney & fireplace which we didn’t use much. But knowing we will be using the fireplace a lot more, I contacted First Response to see what they thought. For the extent of the work, the quote was reasonable. The crew showed up on time (huge plus), were polite & friendly, humored me when I asked dumb questions & did a fantastic job. Love the warrantees for the equipment too. Cannot recommend First Response enough! We are very satisfied customers! The Streeters, Front Royal VAPosted on William MiddlebrooksDecember 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love our wood stove insert from First Response. From insert and stone selection through installation, William and his team were there to help us make the best choices for our home. Mark and the other craftsmen from First Response did a fantastic job removing our old fireplace and chimney and replacing them with a system that has made all the difference on these cold winter days.Posted on Sean ChickeryDecember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
