Chimney Inspections (Level 1, 2 & 3) in Monsey & 30 miles around

What this service actually is

An inspection is the difference between guessing and knowing. We follow the NFPA 211 three-level standard, run a video camera up the flue, photograph what we find, and hand you a report you can show to an insurance adjuster, a real estate attorney or a stubborn brother-in-law.

What you get

• Level 1, 2 and 3 inspections following NFPA 211 standards
• High-resolution flue camera footage — you see exactly what we see
• Written report with photos, usually emailed the same day
• Accepted for real estate closings, insurance claims and appliance installs
• Zero pressure: we tell you what is urgent, what can wait and what is fine

How we do it

1. Level 1 — the annual check

For a system that has not changed. We check readily accessible portions: firebox, damper, visible flue, cap, crown, connections and clearances.

2. Level 2 — sale, change or event

Required when a home changes hands, when you switch fuels or appliances, or after a chimney fire, earthquake or storm. Adds full video scanning of the flue plus attic and crawlspace access.

3. Level 3 — when something is hidden

When a Level 1 or 2 points to a serious hazard we cannot see, this may involve removing a small section of masonry or wall to confirm the condition before repairs.

Signs you need chimney inspections

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call. There is no charge to ask.

• You have had a chimney fire, a lightning strike or a heavy storm
• You are switching from wood to gas, or adding a stove or insert
• Water stains on the ceiling or wall around the chimney chase
• It has simply been more than a year

★★★★★

“We had a leak for two years and three different guys blamed the roof. Hero found it in twenty minutes — flashing, exactly like they said. Fixed, sealed, no more stain on the ceiling.”

Why homeowners pick Hero

We are a family company working out of Monsey, not a national franchise routing your call to a dispatcher three states away. That means the person who quotes your job is on the roof doing it, the price does not change halfway through, and if something is not right afterward we are twenty minutes away.

Every visit includes photo documentation. Every recommendation comes with an explanation of what happens if you wait, so you can make the call on your own timeline instead of ours.
