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.

Mark, Frank and John did a fantastic job today installing our new wood stove and all new smoke pipe through the roof. The interaction with the crew and the office personnel has been outstanding. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone!!! We recently had First Response replace our roof, gutters, downspouts, reflash the chimney, point-up and waterproof the chimney. The crews did an excellent job and was done in a very timely fashion. William was great, from explaining the estimate to keeping us up to date with scheduling and the whole process. We have now used First Response for 2 large projects and they have not disappointed. We would highly recommend them from roof replacement to wood stove and chimney installation.

All questions were answered directly and they didn’t leave until they were sure we were completely satisfied.Posted on Joe KrahnApril 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First Response Chimney is an excellent company. They communicate very well and their team went above and beyond in installing our wood burning stove. After our first year of use, Franklin and Shane came out to inspect the unit and took extra time to provide us with advice on a separate project at our home.

The First Response Chimney team did outstanding work on my two hundred year old stone chimneys. Mark and Victor were able to explain the process step by step and I've never seen a harder working crew. I now have complete confidence in the safety and functionality of those chimneys and would recommend this outfit to anyone who wants professional and courteous service.
