Fireplace & Chimney Inspections in Denver You Can Trust
Gain peace of mind – and negotiation power – with a fireplace and chimney inspection during your home inspection.
Give Yourself an Edge During the Home Inspection
Whether you’re buying a home in Denver or getting one inspected before listing, don’t overlook the chimney. Fireplaces are often beautiful features – but they can also hide costly risks. By adding a chimney inspection to your full home inspection with 5280 Property Inspections, you get more than safety – you gain valuable insight that can influence the outcome of your deal.
Many home buyers skip chimney inspections and end up footing the bill for hidden problems after closing. Don’t let that happen to you. We help you identify issues before they become your financial responsibility – so you can negotiate repairs, request credits, or walk away with confidence.
Our 4-Step Chimney Inspection Process
1. Visual and Safety Assessment
Inside and out, we check for visible wear, cracks, or safety concerns.
2. Wireless Camera Scan
We use a high-res, stabilized camera to inspect from the firebox all the way to the chimney cap.
3. Home Protection & Cleanup
Drop cloths and a professional vacuum mean zero mess left behind.
4. Full Digital Report
You’ll receive video, photos, and expert analysis—great for negotiations or repair follow-ups.
We Identify Issues Like:
- Creosote buildup
- Structural cracks or chimney movement
- Improper venting or carbon monoxide risks
- Animal nests or debris blockages
- Hidden moisture damage
