Chimney Inspection in Schertz
A chimney inspection assesses the structural and operational safety of your chimney system per NFPA 211 standards. Level 1 covers readily accessible areas (annual); Level 2 includes video scope and is required after property transfer, system change, or hazardous event; Level 3 involves invasive examination when concealed damage is suspected.
Why this matters in Schertz
Schertz is established-to-new Guadalupe-County suburbia — The Crossvine, Greenshire — between San Antonio and New Braunfels. Prefab fireboxes dominate the newer stock, with masonry and clay-liner work on the older homes. That local stock is exactly why our Schertz crews tailor chimney inspection to the homes here — not a generic checklist.

Chimney Inspection in Schertz — FAQ
What's the difference between a Level 1, 2, and 3 inspection?
Level 1 is the visual check for a chimney in normal, unchanged use. Level 2 adds accessible areas like attics and crawl spaces and an interior flue scan (usually video), and is required after a sale, a chimney fire, a fuel or appliance change, or weather/seismic events. Level 3 involves removing parts of the structure to reach a suspected hidden hazard.
Do I need an inspection if I rarely use the fireplace?
Yes. NFPA 211 calls for at least an annual inspection regardless of use. Animals, nests, moisture, and freeze-thaw damage accumulate whether you burn or not, and a long-idle flue is a common spot for blockages and deteriorated mortar.
When does a home sale require a chimney inspection?
A property transfer is one of the specific Level 2 triggers under NFPA 211, since the new owner's burning habits are unknown. A Level 2 documents the flue interior with a camera and checks accessible adjoining spaces, not just the surface, so concealed cracks or liner gaps surface before closing.
How long does an inspection take?
A standard Level 1 typically runs 30 to 60 minutes. A Level 2 takes longer because the technician scans the full flue interior and evaluates accessible attic, basement, and crawl-space sections of the chimney.
What does the inspection price depend on?
The listed price covers a Level 1. Cost rises for Level 2 or 3 work, multiple flues, or difficult access. Any repair found during the inspection is quoted separately before that work proceeds.
