Expert Chimney Cleaning and Repair Services

The most current edition of the NFPA 211 recommends annual inspections for all chimneys, fireplaces with continuous use. But there are other times that would require an inspection to ensure your chimney can safely be used.

If your chimney faced some sort of operating malfunction, any unusual or sudden event, like a chimney fire, lightning strike, or earthquake, you should call a technician at Nashville Chimney to check it out.

You should have a level 1 inspection of a chimney before purchasing a home with an existing chimney or vent.

Whenever you make changes to your chimney or vent system you need to have a technician inspect the system. This includes the replacement of connected appliances or installations of other appliances. This should also include if you relined or replaced your system.

A Level 1 inspection is required when you make any changes to your system. This includes changing the fuel, shape or material of the flue, or replacing the appliance. 

Also, a Level 1 inspection is required upon the sale or transfer of your property. Some people think that the home inspection during the due diligence process is enough. But what they don’t realize is that chimney inspections must be done by companies that are responsible for venting, installing, inspecting, repairing, and/or servicing heat-producing appliances. 

You definitely should get an inspection if you experienced an operation malfunction or an external event that may have caused damage to the chimney. This includes building fires, chimney fires, seismic events, as well as some other weather events.
