Chimney Inspection, Chester CountyChimney Inspections From Your Local Crew in Chester County, PA
An inspection is the easiest way to know where a Chester County chimney stands before winter. Old fieldstone stacks depend on lime mortar to stay tight, while newer chimneys in the suburbs tend to show cracked crowns, aging flashing and rusted caps. NFPA 211 calls for an inspection of chimneys, fireplaces and vents once a year. We look at the stack, crown, cap and flashing outside, then the flue, damper, smoke chamber and any stove or insert connection inside, and you get a clear written summary afterward.

Chimney Inspection for Chester County Homes
The Phoenixville Historic District, created in 1987, is the largest National Register of Historic Places site in Chester County. If your home sits inside it, an inspection gives you a plain description of the chimney to bring to the local historic preservation body before any change to the visible brick, stone or cap.
Tredyffrin was founded in 1707 by Welsh settlers and stayed mostly farmland until building picked up in the 1900s. That leaves a mix of very old stone houses and newer homes, and we adjust what we look for to the age of the chimney in front of us.
Our crew inspects chimneys in Phoenixville, Tredyffrin, West Chester, Downingtown, Coatesville and Malvern.
