Certified inspector · NFPA 211
We inspect chimneys across Boerne, Fredericksburg, Kerrville and the Hill Country, following the three levels in the NFPA 211 standard. Level 1 is always free.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends a chimney inspection every year. Here's why.
Your chimney carries hot, toxic gases and carbon monoxide out of your home.
Temperatures inside a chimney can top 2,000°F. Small cracks matter.
This sticky, flammable buildup causes most chimney fires. An inspection catches it early.
Each level includes everything in the one before it, and goes further.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends an inspection every year. Your chimney vents hot, toxic gases and carbon monoxide out of your home, and temperatures inside can top 2,000°F. A yearly check makes sure it's doing that job safely.
Level 1 (free) is a visual check of all readily accessible parts, inside and out. Level 2 adds attics, crawl spaces, basements and a video camera scan of the flue. Level 3 removes parts of the chimney or nearby walls to reach concealed areas when a serious hidden problem is suspected. See all three in detail.

Creosote. It's a sticky, highly flammable byproduct of burning wood that builds up inside the flue. Burning unseasoned wood, restricting airflow, and cool flue temperatures all speed it up. Regular sweeping removes it before it becomes a hazard.
