Chimney Smoke Testing for Safety & Performance

Our smoke testing service reveals draft issues, flue leaks, and air movement problems that might compromise safety or cause poor fireplace performance. This diagnostic tool is essential when addressing smoke backup or strange odors.

Non-Invasive and Accurate Testing

Smoke testing allows us to pinpoint defects without damaging chimney structures. It is often used before major repairs or to verify repair effectiveness, especially when preparing for home sales or insurance documentation.

Ensure Safe Chimney Operation with Professional Smoke Tests

Detecting leaks or blockages within a chimney system can be challenging without the right tools. Our smoke test inspection uses controlled conditions to identify problem areas and airflow inconsistencies effectively.

Inspection Reports You Can Trust

Our inspectors provide you with a comprehensive report detailing smoke migration patterns, flue condition, and ventilation performance. This helps guide repairs and ensures safer chimney operation for both residential and commercial properties.
