What Does a Chimney Inspection Involve?
A chimney inspection is more than just a quick glance—it’s a multi-point safety and performance check. In humid regions like Southern Louisiana, chimneys face added stress from moisture, heat cycles, and seasonal debris. Our inspections help you stay ahead of wear, damage, and risk.
We assess key chimney components, including:
- Flue liners and firebox condition
- Masonry, flashing, and structural integrity
- Cap functionality and storm protection
- Creosote buildup and soot levels
- Gas burner and pilot systems (Valor Fireplaces, freestanding stoves, inserts)
- Draft efficiency and air flow
- Chimney damper, seals, and connections
All inspections include photo documentation, issue summaries, and no-pressure guidance for next steps—whether that’s cleaning, repair, or installation.
Why Chimney Inspections Matter in New Orleans
With older architecture, shifting weather, and extended burn seasons, New Orleans homes benefit from regular chimney evaluations. Here’s why inspections are essential:
- Early Problem Detection - From cracks and corrosion to nesting animals and improper venting, many chimney issues remain hidden until they become costly or dangerous. Our inspections catch them early.
- Homeowner Safety - Creosote buildup, blocked flues, and draft failure can lead to carbon monoxide exposure or chimney fires. A Noble Sweep prioritizes safety and resolution.
- Seasonal Readiness - Before winter arrives—or after summer storms—we help prep your fireplace for safe use and verify that moisture hasn’t caused damage.
- Insurance & Sale Requirements - Real estate agents and insurance providers often require chimney inspections during property transactions. We provide formal reports to simplify the process.
- System Longevity - Routine inspections help preserve masonry, caps, liners, and dampers—avoiding early replacement and keeping systems working efficiently.

Common Question
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend annual inspections for wood-burning systems, gas fireplaces, and homes with active chimneys. If you rarely use your system, inspect every two years—but always inspect after major storms or before using a long-idle fireplace.
Yes. Damage can occur behind the walls or in the flue that’s invisible from the room. Creosote buildup, cracks, or vent blockages often go unnoticed without a full inspection.

Level 1 is visual, ideal for routine annual checkups. Level 2 is more detailed—includes video scopes or attic and crawlspace evaluation—and required during property sales or after incidents (e.g., fires, storms).
