Our insurance inspection service provides the documentation you need for claims, repairs, and compliance. We assess storm, fire, and accident damage while preparing detailed reports accepted by most insurance carriers.
We document the full condition of your chimney with photos, measurements, and defect identification, helping expedite the claims process and secure approval for necessary repairs.
An insurance chimney inspection typically begins with a visual review of the chimney’s exterior masonry and structural components. The inspector evaluates the condition of the brickwork, mortar joints, chimney crown, and areas where the chimney meets the roofline. These areas are critical because they are the most common points where water intrusion or structural deterioration begins.
The inspection also includes a review of the chimney’s overall alignment and structural condition. Visible cracks, leaning sections, damaged brick, or deteriorated mortar joints are documented as part of the report. If accessible, the interior fireplace opening and visible portions of the flue system may also be checked for signs of deterioration or obstruction.
Insurance companies often require clear documentation confirming the chimney has been professionally evaluated. After the inspection, property owners typically receive a report outlining the observed condition of the chimney and its masonry components.
This documentation may include:
• Written summary of the chimney’s visible condition
• Photographs of key chimney components
• Identification of structural or masonry concerns
• Notes regarding recommended repairs if needed
• Inspection records suitable for insurance submission
