Know where your chimney stands before you decide what to repair, clean or replace.
Golden Master chimney project. View more work in our project gallery.
Not every chimney visit starts with a visible crack. You may be planning to use a fireplace again, looking into a leak or trying to understand an older chimney with limited maintenance records. Golden Master can help you begin with an assessment matched to the reason for your call.
01
Let us know about water stains, unusual odors, smoke entering the room, loose masonry or a recent change to a connected appliance. If the inspection is for a property transaction, share any requested report or inspection requirements before booking.
02
The scope depends on the chimney, access and purpose of the inspection. Confirm which visible and accessible areas will be reviewed and whether a more detailed internal examination is needed. Camera work and formal inspection levels should be confirmed when the appointment is arranged.
03
The goal is a useful explanation of what needs attention. You may need cleaning, a specific repair or additional investigation. Ask which recommendations should be addressed before use and which are maintenance items that can be planned separately.
Have your property address, fireplace or appliance type and any previous inspection notes ready. Tell us if access is restricted or the chimney has been unused for a long period. If you suspect fire damage or a venting problem, stop using the connected system until it has been assessed.
CSIA's homeowner guidance recommends an annual inspection, with cleaning and repairs when needed. Regular checks also matter when a fireplace is used infrequently.
No. An inspection evaluates condition; cleaning removes deposits and debris within the agreed scope. Confirm whether you are booking one service or both.
Tell us that the visit is for a purchase before booking. We will confirm the available inspection scope and whether it meets the requirements supplied by you or your transaction professionals.
