Chimney Inspection, Montgomery CountyChimney Inspections by Your Local Crew in Montgomery County, PA
A Montgomery County chimney can have one flue or six, and an inspection is only useful if it covers all of them. NFPA 211 calls for a yearly inspection of chimneys, fireplaces and vents, and that includes the boiler and water heater flues that run all winter. We check the cap, crown, masonry and flashing from the roof, then the dampers, smoke chambers, fireboxes and appliance connections inside. You get a clear written summary of each flue, with any repairs priced upfront so nothing comes as a surprise.

Chimney Inspection for Montgomery County Homes
In the late 1800s and early 1900s wealthy Philadelphians built large estates in Cheltenham, and many were later replaced by houses. The estate homes that remain tend to have big stone chimneys with several flues, some unused for years, and each one should be checked and capped.
Cheltenham has 13 listings on the National Register of Historic Places, more than any other Montgomery County municipality. If your house is a listed property or sits in a historic district, an inspection gives you a plain description of the chimney to take to the local historic preservation body before you plan visible work.
Our crew inspects chimneys in Cheltenham, Lower Merion, Abington, Norristown, Willow Grove and Upper Dublin.
