Chimney Inspections

A yearly inspection is the simplest way to keep your chimney safe. Green Home Services inspects chimneys across San Antonio and Austin, checking the flue, liner, masonry, crown, and cap to catch problems before they become fires or costly repairs.

Know Your Chimney Is Safe

Professional Chimney Inspections

Our chimney inspection is a thorough safety check of the flue, liner, masonry, crown, cap, and connections, looking for creosote, cracks, blockages, and other hazards. A standard inspection takes about 30 to 60 minutes and is recommended annually, before buying a home, or after any chimney fire or major storm, even if you rarely use your fireplace.

Why Chimney Inspections Matter

Inspections catch small issues, like cracks or creosote, before they become fires or expensive repairs.

A chimney hides most of its problems from view. Creosote builds up inside the flue, cracks form in the liner and masonry, water damage develops behind the brick, and animals or debris create blockages, all out of sight until they cause a fire, a leak, or a dangerous venting problem. An annual professional inspection brings these issues into the open while they are still small and inexpensive to address. Inspections are also strongly recommended before buying a home, after any chimney fire, and following major storms, and even a rarely used fireplace should be checked, since unused chimneys still develop leaks, blockages, and nests. A short, thorough inspection gives you documented peace of mind that your chimney is safe to use.
