Start with the reason for your visit

Which inspection level fits your chimney?

A routine check and a closer investigation answer different questions. Tell us what has changed and we will help confirm the right level before you book.

Level 1

For routine use

A starting point when the same chimney and appliance are being used in the same way, with no significant change or new concern.

Franklin's listed price: $69Call about Level 1
Level 2

For a change or a closer look

Appropriate for a property sale, appliance change, planned relining, possible chimney damage, or a concern Level 1 cannot resolve.

Franklin's listed price: $129Book Level 2 online

If a specific concern remains hidden after a Level 1 or Level 2 visit, ask about a separately scoped investigation before any concealed area is opened.

What the visit covers

What does Level 2 add?

Both levels look at the chimney and connected appliance. Level 2 expands the accessible areas examined and includes an interior flue scan.

Level 1: the routine view

  • Readily accessible chimney and appliance areas
  • Visible chimney connection
  • Signs of deposits, obstruction, or visible damage

Level 2: the expanded view

  • The Level 1 scope, plus accessible chimney areas
  • Accessible attic, basement, or crawlspace areas where present and safe to enter
  • Flue-interior video scan or similar observation

We identify the flue and connected appliance the visit covers. If roof conditions or an enclosed space prevent safe access, those limits belong in the findings. Read the CSIA Level 1 procedure and Level 2 procedure for masonry chimneys.

Know what was observed

Clear findings for your next decision

After the visit, we explain what we observed and what it means for the next step. Before booking, confirm which written findings, photos, or scan stills are included with your inspection.

If a finding calls for work, you can review our chimney repair or liner installation information before deciding on a separate written estimate.

For more detail on price and scope, read our Philadelphia inspection-cost guide.

Before booking: confirm the inspection level, covered flue, written deliverables, and total price. The online scheduler currently books Level 2; call us for a standalone Level 1 appointment.

Very happy with the work Franklin did at my house. Came out and gave an estimate and had work done same day. The crew cleaned, capped, pointed three chimneys and added a very stubborn flue connected to the boiler.

Franklin Chimney did a wonderful job fixing my chimney and putting in a stainless-steel liner and cap on top of my chimney. They came out quickly for an estimate and did the work in the same week. They were very professional and explained everything they would be doing before the job started. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality service. Thank you for making this such a great experience!

I had an emergency situation that needed immediate help. Franklin chimney came the next morning and estimated the job for me. The estimate was totally in line with the research other companies that I had done and Franklin came out the next day to do the job. I am so relieved to have this major problem in my house corrected. They were great communicators, on time, clean, fair, professional, and did a great job I could not recommend them more.

We needed a level 2 chimney inspection on a quick timeline for our HOA. Franklin Chimney came out in less than 48 hours. Booking was very easy and price was significantly better than competitors. Our technician Madi was very efficient and made sure we had the report we needed.

I called Franklin Chimney when I noticed flies coming out of my wood burning stove. Maty was here within an hour. He sent a drone up on my roof and discovered a few holes in the mesh that was easy access for birds or squirrels to enter. He sent 2 guys out the next day. They were friendly, efficient and fast. They removed 4 birds and a squirrel. Put a new cap on chimney and sealed it off with mesh. They were done in about 2 hours. I highly recommend Franklin Chimney....thank you for doing a great job!

Common Questions

Questions Before Your Inspection

Level 1 is the usual starting point when you are using the same system as before and nothing significant has changed. Level 2 is appropriate for a property sale, appliance change, planned relining, possible damage, or when a Level 1 visit leaves an important question unanswered. Tell us the reason for your visit so we can confirm the right level.

It builds on Level 1 with a closer look at accessible chimney areas and the flue interior by video scan or equivalent observation. We explain the areas that can be reached at your home and note any access limits in the findings. See CSIA’s Level 2 procedure.

We explain the observed condition and next steps. Before booking, confirm whether your visit includes a written report, photos or scan stills, and any form requested by your buyer, lender, or township.

Franklin’s listed prices are $69 for a standalone Level 1 inspection and $129 for Level 2. Confirm the current price, which flue is covered, and what documentation is included before booking. For a deeper comparison, read our Philadelphia inspection-cost guide.

Annual inspection is the routine recommendation. A change in appliance, property sale, chimney fire, or new performance concern may call for a Level 2 assessment sooner. See CSIA’s Level 1 procedure.

Yes. Describe the appliance, age if known, and any smoke, leak, or draft concern when booking. We’ll explain the appropriate inspection level and access needed for your particular system.

Still Have Questions?

Tell us why you need the inspection, which appliance uses the chimney, and any concern you have noticed. We will help confirm the right visit.
