Chimney Inspections From Your Local Crew in Bucks County, PA

Chimneys in Bucks County span three centuries, from colonial stacks in Bristol to 1990s chimneys in Lower Makefield, and each age has its own weak spots. NFPA 211 calls for a yearly inspection of chimneys, fireplaces and vents, and another after any storm or event that may have damaged them. We check the cap, crown, brick and flashing outside, then the flue, damper, smoke chamber and firebox inside. If anything needs work, you get it in writing with upfront pricing, and the decision stays yours.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Chimney Inspection for Bucks County Homes

Bristol was settled in 1681, and many historic and restored houses still line Radcliffe and Mill streets. Old stacks like those often carry more than one flue, some long out of use, so we inspect every flue in the chimney, not only the one you burn in.

Ice storms and snowstorms of a foot or more reach the Doylestown area every few years, mostly during nor'easters from December through February. After a storm like that, a look at the chimney before the next fire is a sensible precaution.

Our crew inspects chimneys in Bristol, New Hope, Doylestown, Lower Makefield, Bensalem and Warminster.

Chimney Inspection Questions in Bucks County

Should I have the chimney inspected before buying an older house in Bucks County?
Yes. Colonial and 19th century houses here can have several flues, original lime mortar and no modern liner, while mid-century homes may still have their first clay tiles. An inspection before you close tells you which one you are getting.
What do you check on a factory-built fireplace in a newer home?
We look at the metal chimney sections, the cap and chase cover, the firebox panels and the clearances around the unit. Rust on the chase cover is a common early sign of water getting in.
How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take under an hour. A tall chimney or a hard roof can take longer, and we tell you before we start.
