A chimney inspection by Brown Family Chimney Cleaning goes far beyond a quick visual glance. Following the NFPA 211 standard, we offer Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections tailored to your specific situation. A Level 1 inspection covers all readily accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior and is recommended during annual maintenance visits. A Level 2 inspection — required any time you sell a home, experience a chimney fire, or change your fuel type — includes a video scan of the full flue using a specialized camera that reveals cracks, obstructions, and deterioration invisible to the naked eye.
Charlotte's clay soil and freeze-thaw temperature swings (even mild ones) cause masonry chimneys to shift and settle over time. Our inspectors look closely at the crown, cap, flashing, mortar joints, smoke chamber, damper, firebox, and liner for signs of spalling brick, cracked tile flue liners, efflorescence, and improper clearances. We document everything with photographs and provide a written report so you have a clear picture of your chimney's condition and any recommended next steps.
If you are buying or selling a home in Charlotte, a Level 2 chimney inspection is an important part of the due-diligence process. Our reports are straightforward and written in plain language — no upselling jargon, just honest findings and prioritized recommendations so you can make informed decisions about repairs or continued use.

Common Questions
What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspection?
A Level 1 inspection covers all readily accessible areas of the chimney and is standard for annual maintenance. A Level 2 inspection adds a video camera scan of the interior flue and is required when selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when any changes to the system are made.
Do I need a chimney inspection if I rarely use my fireplace?
Yes. Even infrequently used chimneys can develop animal nests, blockages, moisture damage, and deteriorating mortar that pose fire or carbon monoxide risks. An annual inspection catches these issues early regardless of how often the fireplace is used.
