The board wants one answer for the whole property
Describe the property
Give the address, how many fireplaces, and roughly when the buildings went up.
A building-wide answer
Buildings put up in the same years may share a type of stack. We ask the build year for the property, then inspect each fireplace on its own merits, because each can differ in how it has aged.
The report names each fireplace so the board can see where the problems are and where there are none.
A named report also shows the board which fireplaces were checked.
How to work out the cost
Pick a level, find its row below and multiply by your fireplace count.
Which level to ask for
A Level 1 looks at accessible parts by eye. A Level 2 brings in the video camera for the flue itself and adds the attic, the crawlspace and the roof where they open to us.
For NFPA 211, a Level 2 fits a property that is sold, a fire or a quake, or a swap of fuel.
A mixed order is fine. Some fireplaces may need the camera while others need only a visual check, and the price follows the level chosen for each.
After the inspection
Repairs are quoted after the inspection. Five jobs are the exception, with prices posted on our up to code page.
What to have ready
Line up keys, notice to residents and a contact on site. Tell us if any fireplace has had a fire in the chimney, so we can note it beside that unit.

Board questions
Is every fireplace seen in one visit?
Yes. The whole property gets done on one trip.
Does the report separate each fireplace?
Yes. Each fireplace is named in it.
Do you need the build year?
It helps. If you do not know it, tell us what you can.
Give us the building
