Chimney Inspection, New Castle CountyChimney Inspections by Your Local Crew in New Castle County, DE
A chimney inspection in New Castle County might mean a brick stack from the 1700s or a metal chimney in a house finished a few years ago. NFPA 211 calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected at least once a year. On masonry chimneys we check the crown, cap, mortar, flashing and liner. On factory-built systems we check the pipe sections, chase cover, firebox and clearances. Either way, you get a clear written summary and upfront pricing on anything that needs work.

Chimney Inspection for New Castle County Homes
The New Castle Historic District covers about four square blocks in the city center, with roughly 500 historic buildings built between 1700 and 1940. Chimneys that old often have soft mortar and original flues, and an inspection there pays close attention to both.
Middletown's population grew by about 206 percent between 2000 and 2010, and it is known as the fastest growing area in Delaware. Many of those homes have factory-built fireplaces, where a rusted chase cover is often the first sign of trouble an inspection catches.
Our crew inspects chimneys in New Castle, Middletown, Wilmington, Claymont, Newark and Bear.
