Fireplace Inspection
Fireplace Inspection is the examination of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and visible portions of the chimney to verify the fireplace is safe to burn in. You need one before your first fire of the season, after any chimney work, or if you notice smoke rolling back into the room. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth performs fireplace inspections as part of our broader Fort Worth Chimney Inspection service, with pricing starting around $199 for a standard sweep-and-inspect visit. We give you a written price before any tool comes off the truck, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
What We Check
We look at the firebox brick and mortar joints, the damper plate and frame, and the smoke shelf for creosote buildup or blockages. Any crack, gap, or failed joint gets photographed and shown to you.
Seasonal Timing in Fort Worth
Fort Worth’s fall temperature swings cause brick and mortar to expand and contract quickly, which is why we see most fireplace issues surface between October and December. Getting the inspection done before your first fire is the cheapest way to catch issues early.

Chimney Inspection Services
Chimney Inspection Services are the three levels of inspection defined by the National Fire Protection Association: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. A Level 1 inspection is part of every standard chimney sweep in Fort Worth, while a Level 2 is recommended when you buy or sell a home, after a chimney fire, or after structural changes. Homeowners in neighboring communities can also schedule a Chimney Inspection - Haltom City with our team. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth performs all three levels, with Level 1 bundled into a $199 sweep and Level 2 inspections running between $299 and $449 in Fort Worth. We will not sell you an inspection level you do not need; we will tell you plainly which one applies.
Written Findings, Every Time
After the inspection, you get a written report showing what we found, what it means, and what repair work we would and would not recommend. If we recommend a liner replacement, you get camera footage that proves it.
Backed by the Garrison Standard
Every inspection follows the same code as every Garrison Partners location: documented scope, documented price, documented guarantee. The number you approve is the number you pay.

Chimney Flue Inspection
Chimney Flue Inspection is the focused examination of the inner liner that channels smoke and combustion gases from your fireplace or furnace safely out of the house. It matters because a cracked or deteriorated flue liner can leak heat and carbon monoxide into the wall cavities of your home. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth inspects flues with a high-resolution camera, and the inspection runs $299 to $449 as a standalone Level 2 in Fort Worth. You get the camera footage, not just a verbal summary.
Liner Materials We Inspect
We evaluate clay tile liners, which crack over time due to Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles, as well as stainless systems like DuraFlex and HeatShield resurfaced liners. If the liner is failing, we tell you exactly where and show you the image.
How We See Inside
Our camera inspection traces the full flue run from the firebox to the crown. Obstructions like bird nests, broken tile spalling, or shifted flue sections show up clearly on the screen, and we review the footage with you on site.
Chimney Fire
Chimney Fire is the event every Fort Worth homeowner wants to avoid: creosote igniting inside the flue at temperatures that can crack a liner and send heat into the house framing. After any chimney fire, no matter how small, you should have a Level 2 inspection before burning again. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth performs post-fire inspections starting at $299, and our camera inspection tells you exactly what survived and what did not. We do not guess about fire damage; we verify it.
Warning Signs After a Fire
Honeycomb-looking creosote, cracked flue tiles, a warped damper, or a metallic smell in the house. Any of these mean the flue should be inspected before the next burn.
Preventing the Next One
Annual sweeps and inspections are the most effective prevention, and we document every visit so you have a dated record for insurance purposes. Fort Worth fire departments refer homeowners to us for records exactly because we write everything down.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Level 2 Chimney Inspection is the inspection standard for a home sale, a chimney fire, a severe weather event, or a change to the appliance or flue system. It includes everything in a Level 1 plus a camera scan of the entire flue interior, attic, and accessible crawl spaces. In Fort Worth, a Level 2 inspection runs $299 to $449, and Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth delivers the full camera footage file to you. Realtors and home inspectors across Tarrant County, including those seeking a North Richland Hills Chimney Inspection, use us for this exact reason.
When Real Estate Is Involved
Fort Worth home transactions routinely stall on a chimney inspection that produces only a one-sentence note. We give buyers and sellers a written, photographic report that moves the deal forward.
What the Camera Finds
The camera catches gaps between flue tiles, cracked clay liners, and hidden blockages that a visible inspection from the roof never could. You see exactly what we see, on the screen, during the inspection.
Chimney Leak
Chimney Leak is the most common chimney complaint we handle in Fort Worth, usually caused by a failed crown, damaged flashing, or porous brick pulling in rain during the spring and fall storm seasons. Water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace, a musty smell in the attic, or white efflorescence on the brick all point to a leak. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth diagnoses leaks with a full inspection, and the inspection itself starts at $199 in Fort Worth. We identify the source before we quote any repair.
Finding the Source
We inspect the crown, flashing, masonry, and chase top, and we trace water stains from inside the house outward. Our leak diagnosis includes photographs of every suspect area.
Fixing It the Fort Worth Way
Once the leak source is confirmed, we quote the repair in writing, using products like Gelco crown sealer and Copperfield flashing as the job requires. The repair carries our full-year written guarantee, and if it fails within that year, we return at no charge.
Chimney Camera Inspection
Chimney Camera Inspection is the process of running a high-resolution camera through the full flue run so you can see the actual condition of the liner, joints, and interior masonry in real time. It is the standard for Level 2 inspections and for any repair recommendation, because Fort Worth homeowners should not be asked to approve thousands of dollars of work on trust. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth includes camera footage in every Level 2 inspection, priced at $299 to $449 in Fort Worth. If we recommend a liner replacement, you will see the cracked tile or failed joint on the screen before anything is sold.
What You Get
The footage is reviewed with you on site, and we provide the digital file with our written report so you have evidence for your own records or for a home sale.
Why We Use It on Every Level 2
Visual-only inspections miss what the camera catches. We would rather show you exactly what we found in Fort Worth’s older chimneys, many of which date to 1960s-era construction with clay-tile liners that are long past their useful life.
Brands We Service
We work with home systems built around Copperfield and DuraFlex components. Copperfield’s stainless steel chimney covers and caps hold up well to Fort Worth’s hail season, and we install and inspect them regularly. DuraFlex stainless liners are our most common recommendation when a clay tile liner has failed, because they carry durable, verifiable warranties and stand up to repeated hot burns.
We also resurface deteriorated flues with HeatShield and repair crowns with Gelco products, specifying each brand by the job rather than by margin. Whether you have one of these brands or something older, we can inspect and service it.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Smoke backing into the living room. This means the flue is blocked or the draft is failing, and either way you are breathing combustion byproducts. Shut down the fire and schedule an inspection.
- White staining on the brick exterior. Efflorescence tells you water is moving through the masonry, which means your chimney is quietly degrading. The leak will not fix itself and will get more expensive.
- A crackled, shiny coating inside the flue. That is distilled tar from smoke, and it is the fuel for a chimney fire. If you can see it, it has been building for at least a season.
- Water in the firebox after rain. Whether it is the crown, the flashing, or the cap, water is getting in where it should not. The inspection tells you which one.
- You just bought the house. Fort Worth home sales move fast, and chimney conditions often get skipped. A Level 2 camera inspection gives you a baseline before you burn.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written price before anything else. We review the job, confirm the inspection level, and hand you a written price. There is no second number later, ever.
- 2
Interior protection and prep. We lay drop cloths and run a vacuum system while we work, because a dirty worksite is a sign of a careless crew. You will not know we were there except that your chimney is documented and clean.
- 3
The inspection itself. Level 1 inspection covers the accessible portions. Level 2 adds the camera run through the flue, attic, and crawl spaces, which is where Fort Worth’s older clay liners show their age.
- 4
Review footage and findings with you. We walk you through what the camera showed, mark the photos, and answer questions on the spot. Nothing gets repaired without your written approval and a written price.
- 5
The written report and photo file. You leave the visit with the report in hand, and we add your inspection to our records so next year’s visit has a documented history to compare against.
How Much Does Chimney Inspection Cost in Fort Worth?
A standard chimney sweep with a Level 1 inspection in Fort Worth runs about $199. A Level 2 chimney inspection with camera footage runs $299 to $449, depending on the flue length, roof access, and whether the chimney has multiple flues. Post-fire inspections fall into the Level 2 range. What affects the price most is the number of flues and the complexity of roof access; a two-story home with a steep pitch in Lake Worth or Sansom Park takes more time than a single-story home in Everman. To avoid overpaying, never approve a repair quote from an inspection report you have not seen, and insist on camera evidence before any liner recommendation. Our written estimate includes the full scope, the level of inspection, and the price, with no obligation. Call (682) 255-2144 for a quote specific to your chimney.
