We respect you and your property at the highest level, our reputation depends on it.
Winston's Chimney Service offers three levels of inspection as recommended by both the CSIA and the National Fire Protection Association to prevent hazards associated with your venting systems such as chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, water or structural damage. |

Level 2 Chimney Inspection |
Required when any change is made to your system, when you replace an appliance with another of a dissimilar type or efficiency level.
Required upon the sale or transfer of property.
Suggested when an operating malfunction or external event is likely to have caused damage to the chimney or appliance.
Can include a video camera inspection or other means necessary to document the interior condition of the chimney. |
