A professional chimney inspection goes far beyond a quick visual glance. David & Sons Chimney Cleaning performs all three NFPA 211-defined inspection levels in Sonoma, CA. A Level 1 inspection covers all readily accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior. A Level 2 inspection — recommended when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or following significant weather events — includes video scanning of the flue liner to detect hidden cracks, spalling, and obstructions. Level 3 inspections involve removal of components when serious hazards are suspected.
Our technicians use high-resolution camera systems to document flue liner condition frame by frame, giving you a clear picture of what's happening inside the chase. All findings are compiled in a written report you can share with your insurance carrier, real estate agent, or contractor. This documentation is especially valuable for older Sonoma-area homes with original clay tile liners or pre-1990s construction.
Whether you're purchasing a historic Victorian in downtown Sonoma or simply want peace of mind before lighting your first fire of the season, a thorough chimney inspection is the smartest investment in your home's safety and longevity.
