When operating a wood-burning stove, fireplace insert, or open fireplace in Grand County, regular safety checks are essential. A Level 1 Chimney Inspection is the standard, non-invasive safety evaluation recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for chimneys under regular use.
If you haven’t made changes to your heating system and your appliance is performing normally, a Level 1 inspection gives you complete peace of mind before lighting your next fire.
A Level 1 inspection is ideal for standard, ongoing maintenance scenarios where your system’s usage remains unchanged.
Annual Routine Maintenance: Recommended once a year for any frequently used fireplace, stove, or heating system.
Pre-Season Start-Up: Ensures no birds’ nests, creosote accumulation, or winter damage are blocking your flue before first light.
Property Sellers & Buyers (Standard Check): Provides a baseline safety verification for standard real estate transactions where no underlying issues are suspected.
Unchanged Heating Systems: Best suited for systems where you are using the same appliance, fuel type, and liner as previous years.
Note: If you recently experienced a chimney fire, structural damage, or are swapping out your heating appliance/fuel type, a Level 2 Inspection (which includes internal video scanning) is required.
Inspecting for rust, damage, or clogging that could restrict airflow.
Checking for cracks or deterioration that could cause roof leaks or moisture intrusion.
Looking for structural wear, freeze-thaw spalling, or joint separation.
Checking for loose bricks, cracked firebricks, and mortar deterioration.
Verifying smooth opening, closing, and sealing functionality.
Inspecting accessible portions for dangerous creosote build-up, soot accumulation, or blockages.
Ensuring proper clearance to combustibles and secure pipe connections.
