A professional chimney inspection is your first line of defense against costly repairs and dangerous safety hazards. Wheaton Chimney Sweep offers comprehensive Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections that thoroughly evaluate your chimney’s condition and performance. Our certified inspectors use advanced video camera technology to examine areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye, providing detailed assessment of your flue liner, smoke chamber, damper, and structural components.
Illinois building codes require chimney inspections under specific circumstances, including real estate transactions, insurance claims, and after significant weather events.
