Our inspections follow the CSIA-style three-level system. A Level 1 covers readily accessible parts for an annual check; a Level 2 adds video scanning of the full flue — required before a home sale or after a chimney fire, which matters in Bellevue's fast-moving real-estate market.
You'll get a written report with photos, not vague verbal advice. We flag crown cracks, liner gaps, and water intrusion so you can plan repairs on your schedule instead of facing an emergency mid-winter.

Chimney Inspection — your questions
Do I need a Level 2 inspection to sell my Bellevue home?
Most buyers and inspectors expect a Level 2 with video scan when a wood-burning fireplace is present. We provide documentation suitable for closing.
What's included in the written report?
Photos, the flue condition, crown and cap status, liner integrity, and prioritized recommendations with rough costs.
How long does an inspection take?
A Level 1 runs about 45 minutes; a Level 2 with full video scan typically takes 60-90 minutes.
