Consider a chimney inspection your critical diagnostic tool for hidden issues. Our certified technicians delve beyond the visible, meticulously scrutinizing components like the liner, crown, cap, flashing, and surrounding masonry. We then provide a comprehensive report, rich with photographic evidence. Whether you're navigating a real estate transaction on the Eastside, recovering from a chimney event, or simply seeking assurance as Redmond winters approach, you'll gain a crystal-clear understanding of your chimney's health and any necessary interventions.
Waterfront properties along the Sammamish River or other Redmond waterways face intensified exposure to moisture and the relentless freeze-thaw cycles characteristic of our region. These conditions accelerate masonry deterioration, making a comprehensive Level 2 inspection particularly beneficial for these chimneys to catch hidden damage early.

What's included
Inspections are a non-negotiable component during home sales, and both the CSIA and NFPA 211 strongly advocate for annual checks. They are also crucial after any significant chimney incident, be it a fire, a substantial storm, or even an earthquake, to ensure ongoing safety and structural integrity.
How it works
We review how you use the chimney and any issues you've noticed.
Visual Level 1, or a Level 2 camera scan of the full flue when needed.
Photos of every component plus a written report you keep.
If something needs work, you get a clear, no-pressure quote.
Local & accountable
Why it matters
A professional inspection serves as your frontline defense against concealed dangers, detecting potential fire risks or carbon-monoxide leaks long before they escalate. Both the CSIA and NFPA 211 emphatically endorse yearly inspections, along with immediate checks following a chimney fire, severe weather impact, or prior to any property transfer. This is because critical issues like hairline liner cracks, a deteriorating crown, or subtle flue blockages seldom reveal themselves from the comfort of your living room.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free inspection:
See the difference
These frames come from a camera run the full length of the flue — territory no floor-level glance covers. The after view isolates the defect: a cracked tile or liner gap that would let heat and combustion gases reach framing. A documented Level 1 or Level 2 inspection replaces guesswork with a photographed, itemized scope of work.
A camera run up the flue documents defects no floor-level look can verify.
Representative example of a typical chimney inspection — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A common trigger: a buyer closing on an older Redmond house near Marymoor wants the chimney verified before signing. From the firebox everything looks acceptable; the camera says otherwise — a cracked tile or liner gap that decades of heat and damp valley air have opened up. Each finding is photographed and itemized in a written report, so the number that matters is known before move-in, not discovered after it.
