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.

Joseph from First Response was super friendly and explained things well. They were also the only company able to squeeze us in before the snow storm. Timely and professional.Posted on Bryant CJanuary 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first wood stove. Great work and fast installation by Victor and Andres, and Johnathan went through everything in detail about operating the stove. Their communication ahead of time was excellent.Posted on Spencer RussellJanuary 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Everything ordered worked first time. Everyone is very helpful and pleasant to work with.Posted on Clayshiesty47January 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joesph and Frank stopped by our house the day after we had a chimney fire. They got here so quick and very respectful and overall great people and a great company. They answered all the questions we had and made sure we understood everything that was going on. Highly recommend this company.Posted on Elfriede HousemanJanuary 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joseph and Franklin did an inspection of our existing wood stove... very thorough and professional in explaining what needed to be done, as well as presenting options. Very knowledgeable. Thank you.Posted on Andy RhodesJanuary 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Nathan NJanuary 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update 2: Joseph did an amazing job and was very personable and professional! Had cleaning and inspection done. Update: the work the team did was awesome! The on site team was very courteous and easy to talk to when I had questions. Jacob was also great too for helping coordination and getting things in order. I recommend when getting a quote to make sure you are getting a good quote as again they do good work. I'm impressed by the knowledged they have and the quality of service they offered. I asked for an inspection and possible chimney sweep. Their solution was $22K. Then was told since I wanted to pay a certain way, there would be an extra charge on top of what was quoted. Will be getting some work done and will update the review once I see how the work is done but coming into a home and telling the owner they need to drop $22K on a whole rebuild, not the way to do business.Posted on Rene GonzalezJanuary 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
