One visit, and every fireplace gets inspected

One trip is the whole job. The visit covers every fireplace on your list, from the first door to the last.

Send the list ahead if you can, since it saves a phone call. A line for each is enough: building, door or room, and whether the hearth is open, closed or gas. We plan the visit from that list.

First, pick the level. Second, multiply by the number of fireplaces. That is all. A property with a large count gets the same per-fireplace price as a small one. The total grows with the count, and the arithmetic stays the same.

Repairs are quoted separately, after the inspection.

Each fireplace gets its own name in the report. Written findings and photos go with it.

Photos and the report arrive the same day as the visit.

Level 1 is a once-over of whatever is easy to get at. Level 2 feeds a camera up the flue, then moves to the attic, crawlspace and roof areas where we are able to enter. If a fireplace has been through a chimney fire or an earthquake, switched fuel type, or been sold or transferred, NFPA 211 moves it to Level 2.
