Whether you’re lighting up your fireplace for the first time this season or using it regularly during colder months, a thorough fireplace inspection is a must. Over time, fireplaces can develop cracks, accumulate creosote, or suffer from structural wear—posing serious fire hazards if left unchecked. At ServiceTasker, we make it easy to find certified fireplace inspectors near you who know exactly what to look for.
Our trusted pros perform detailed inspections of wood-burning, gas, and electric fireplaces, identifying potential safety issues before they become costly repairs or dangerous situations. From chimney flue blockages to gas line leaks and structural damage, a professional inspection gives you peace of mind that your fireplace is safe, code-compliant, and ready to use.
Professional inspectors follow National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards to ensure your fireplace and chimney system are in safe working condition. Services typically include:
✅ Full inspection of firebox, damper, flue, and chimney cap
✅ Creosote and soot assessment
✅ Structural integrity checks (cracks, leaks, deterioration)
✅ Gas fireplace safety checks and ignition system inspection
✅ Smoke draft and ventilation analysis
Whether it’s a routine annual check or an inspection before a real estate transaction, our ServiceTasker pros ensure your fireplace is safe from top to hearth.
ServiceTasker professionals provide all three NFPA-recognized levels of fireplace inspection:
Level 1 – Basic Annual Inspection
Recommended for fireplaces with no changes in use or performance. Includes visual checks and basic functionality testing.
Level 2 – Real Estate / Pre-Sale Inspections
Required for property sales, transfers, or after a chimney fire. Includes video scanning of internal surfaces and structural evaluation.
Level 3 – In-Depth Diagnostic Inspection
Used when serious issues are suspected. Involves partial disassembly (e.g., removal of chimney wall) to access concealed areas.
At least once a year, even if rarely used
Before buying or selling a home
After a chimney fire, storm, or earthquake
When converting fuel types (e.g., wood to gas)
If you notice unusual smoke, odors, or draft issues
Regular inspections help prevent carbon monoxide leaks, chimney fires, and costly damage caused by neglect.
On average, a professional fireplace inspection in the U.S. costs between $100 and $500, depending on the level of inspection required, fireplace type, and regional labor rates. Level 1 inspections are typically the most affordable, while Level 2 or 3 inspections cost more due to specialized tools and time.
