NFPA 211 Compliant Inspections

Why Annual Inspections Matter in Massachusetts
Massachusetts winters are notoriously tough on chimney systems, with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads causing potential damage. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections to catch small problems before they become dangerous. In Bristol County, common issues include water damage, animal intrusion, and salt air deterioration. Our NFPA 211 compliant inspections ensure your chimney remains safe and your insurance coverage intact.

How much does a chimney inspection cost in Dighton, MA?

Chimney inspection costs in Dighton typically range from $100 to $250 for a basic Level 1 inspection, which includes cleaning. The exact cost depends on your chimney’s size, accessibility, and the type of inspection needed. Level 2 inspections, which include video scanning of the flue, cost between $250 and $600. These are required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when making changes to your heating system. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all homeowners. This is especially important in Massachusetts due to our harsh winters and the heavy use most chimneys see during the heating season. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, annual inspections are crucial as animals, weather, and time can create safety hazards that only a professional inspection will catch.
A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual inspection for chimneys that haven’t changed and are used the same way year after year. We examine all accessible areas of the chimney, check for obstructions and creosote buildup, and verify the basic soundness of the structure. Level 2 inspections are more comprehensive and include everything in a Level 1 inspection plus video scanning of the flue interior. These are required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when making changes to your heating system.
Yes, chimney cleaning is included with our inspections. We can’t properly inspect a chimney that’s full of soot and creosote, so cleaning is a necessary part of the inspection process. During the cleaning, we remove creosote buildup, soot, and any debris that could block proper ventilation. This also allows us to thoroughly examine the flue liner and chimney structure for cracks, deterioration, or other safety concerns.
If we find any issues during your inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your safety. We provide clear, written documentation with photos when necessary to show you the problem areas. We’ll discuss your options for addressing any problems, from minor repairs to larger issues, without pressuring you into unnecessary repairs.
A typical Level 1 inspection with cleaning takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and condition of your chimney. Level 2 inspections take slightly longer, usually 2 to 3 hours, due to the additional video scanning and more detailed examination. We schedule appointments with enough time to do a thorough job without rushing, respecting your time and ensuring a comprehensive inspection.
