Chimney Sweep & Pre-Purchase Inspection in Fishtown $69 Camera Report

A chimney sweep in Fishtown checks the flue liner, smoke chamber, and damper, then clears creosote, animal nests, and loose debris from your chimney. For the rowhomes and twins from Frankford Avenue to Lehigh, the $69 inspection comes with HD camera footage and a written report that real-estate agents, inspectors, and first-time buyers can hand off without translation.

Fishtown and Kensington's housing stock is two layers deep. The original 1920s twin homes and late-1800s industrial rowhomes still carry clay tile liners that have moved through coal, oil, and gas. Layered on top is the rehab generation: three-story new-build infill that runs gas inserts and direct-vent appliances through chimneys finished behind fresh drywall. Both layers create surprises that only show up on camera.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection for any home that vents an appliance or burns wood. Buyers and sellers in Fishtown and Kensington use that same recommendation as the trigger for a pre-purchase Level 2 camera inspection, the kind that catches a cracked liner before it shows up on the closing-day punch list. Our reports include date, technician name, CSIA credential, and clear photos so the document does the work without follow-up.
