Chimney inspection in Richmond Hill
There is no way to grade creosote or spot a cracked liner tile from the firebox. In Richmond Hill homes we scan the full flue on camera and hand you the footage, whatever we find.
Richmond Hill has a heavy mix of post-1990 subdivisions with factory-built metal chases. Those age differently to masonry — the chase cover and storm collar are usually the first things to leak.
What we find most often in Richmond Hill
- Deteriorated firebox mortar and refractory panels
- Stage 2 or 3 creosote glazing in wood-burning flues
- Bird and raccoon nesting in unguarded flues
- Chase cover pooling water on factory-built chimneys
- Missing, rusted, or undersized rain caps
- Damper seized open, bleeding heat all winter

What Richmond Hill homeowners say
They told me the flue did not need sweeping yet and charged only for the inspection. First contractor in years to talk me out of spending money.
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.
Shoe covers, sheeting, and a sealed vacuum. My wife works from home and barely noticed they were here.
Punctual, professional, and walked me through every step. The report came the same afternoon with clear photos of the crown cracks they found. No pressure to book the repair.
Free chimney inspection in Richmond Hill: FAQs
Is the chimney inspection in Richmond Hill really free?
Yes. A WETT-certified technician attends your Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill?
A standard single-flue sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs about $200 to $290 in Richmond Hill. A Level 2 camera inspection for a sale, an insurer, or after a flue fire runs $260 to $400. Any extras are confirmed in writing before work starts.
How soon can you attend in Richmond Hill?
Most Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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.
