Chimney inspection in Pickering
Most chimney problems in Pickering are invisible from the living room. The crown cracks, the liner shifts, the cap rusts through — and the first sign is usually smoke in the room or a water stain on the ceiling.
Housing stock in Pickering runs from century masonry to new-build direct-vent gas, so we bring both a rotary set and a gas analyser to every inspection rather than guessing on the phone.
What we find most often in Pickering
- Efflorescence and damp patches on the chimney breast
- Stage 2 or 3 creosote glazing in wood-burning flues
- Cracked clay liner tiles at the mortar joints
- Bird and raccoon nesting in unguarded flues
- Negative pressure from bathroom and range fans pulling smoke back
- Deteriorated firebox mortar and refractory panels

What Pickering homeowners say
Old house with a furnace flue as well. They handled both in one visit and discounted the second one rather than charging full price twice.
Smoke came into the living room on a Sunday evening. They were here the next morning, found a nest, cleared it, and tested the draft before leaving.
1920s brick, plenty of quirks. The technician clearly knew older builds and pointed out mortar joints to watch rather than pushing a rebuild.
Had to move my appointment once, but the sweep itself was excellent and the crown sealing has held through the winter with no water staining.
Free chimney inspection in Pickering: FAQs
Is the chimney inspection in Pickering really free?
Yes. A WETT-certified technician attends your Pickering home, runs the 21-point safety check, and emails a written report with photos at no charge. There is no call-out fee and no obligation to book any repair.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Pickering?
A standard single-flue sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs about $190 to $280 in Pickering. A Level 2 camera inspection for a sale, an insurer, or after a flue fire runs $250 to $380. Any extras are confirmed in writing before work starts.
How soon can you attend in Pickering?
Most Pickering bookings are attended within two to four business days, and smoke, carbon monoxide, or post-fire calls are dispatched same day. We call you back within 60 minutes during business hours.
How often should a Pickering chimney be swept?
Once a year for any wood-burning appliance, and once a year for gas as a venting and carbon monoxide check. If you burn most evenings through a Pickering winter, mid-season is worth a second look at the flue.
What does the free inspection actually include?
A full camera scan of the flue, creosote grading, crown, cap, flashing and chase inspection, damper and firebox check, a carbon monoxide draft test, and a dated written report with photos you can send to an insurer or a buyer's agent.
Do I have to book a repair afterwards?
No. You keep the report either way. If we find something, we quote it in writing and you decide in your own time. The $50 coupon is valid for 30 days on any chimney repair of $199 or more.
