Chimney Experts Cleaning & Repair

Full chimney Inspections

Chimney Experts Cleaning & Repair provides chimney inspection in New York to assess chimney condition, identify visible concerns and explain maintenance needs. The inspection approach depends on the appliance, chimney configuration and reason for the assessment.

A chimney flue inspection checks accessible areas for deterioration, deposits and obstructions. Where appropriate, chimney video inspection provides a closer view of internal surfaces that cannot be clearly seen from the fireplace opening.

Smoke testing may also be used as part of an appropriate professional assessment to investigate draft or suspected leakage. Our team explains which checks are suitable for your chimney.

Why are Chimney Smoke Tests Important?

A professional smoke test can provide useful information about chimney venting. Depending on the system and test conditions, it can help investigate the following concerns:

Identifying blockages and obstructions: Nesting material, debris and deposits can restrict the flue. Smoke-test observations can indicate venting concerns that require closer inspection.
Investigating suspected leaks: Smoke appearing outside the intended venting path may indicate a problem requiring further assessment. Additional inspection may be needed to locate and evaluate the defect.
Assessing draft and airflow: Observing smoke movement can help assess how the chimney draws under the test conditions. Findings help determine whether further investigation is appropriate.

Smoke testing and chimney video inspection serve different purposes. Our team selects appropriate checks based on the chimney and the concerns reported, then explains the findings and any recommended next steps.
