When a Chimney Camera Inspection in Denver Makes Sense
You suspect damage inside the flue
Cracked flue tiles or failed mortar joints can be difficult to see from the firebox. A camera moves through the flue so we can inspect its interior surfaces.
There may have been a chimney fire
Heat can damage flue tiles and mortar even when the damage is not obvious from the hearth. The CSIA notes that chimney fires can reach around 2,000°F, hot enough to crack tiles or melt mortar.
You are changing or relining the system
A Level 2 inspection is recommended before relining and includes a video scan. The CSIA’s Level 2 procedure says the inspector notes in the report if the flue’s size or offsets make a scan impossible.
You are buying or selling a home
A Level 2 inspection is recommended before a sale. A camera scan can show the inside of the flue, where damage may not be visible during a basic look at the fireplace.
A routine inspection cannot answer the question
A Level 1 inspection is generally used for routine annual checks and cleaning when nothing is changing. The CSIA identifies a Level 2 inspection, including video scanning, for situations such as suspected damage or a change to the system.
What Our Chimney Camera Inspection Covers
- Camera scan inside the flue — We guide a small camera up or down the flue to view its interior. The direction depends on access and the chimney setup.
- Flue tile check — We rotate the camera to look for cracks in the flue tiles, which can be hidden from view at the fireplace opening.
- Mortar joint check — The camera view lets us look for mortar joints that have failed along the flue. These are areas where the lining may need further attention.
- Scan limits noted — Offsets or the size of the flue can prevent a camera from reaching every area. For a Level 2 inspection, the CSIA procedure calls for this limitation to be noted in the report.
- Related chimney concerns — A camera inspection can help assess the flue, but it does not itself remove deposits or repair damage. We can also handle chimney sweep work or chimney repair when those services are needed.
- A next step based on what we see — The scan helps identify where the visible problem is and whether cleaning or repair should be considered. A camera view does not replace the inspection level appropriate to your situation.

How the Camera Scan Works at Your Home
- Book a home visit — Call (720) 780-8924 or send a request through our contact page. Tell us what you have noticed and whether there has been a recent fire, a planned relining, or a home sale, since those details can affect the inspection scope.
- Make the fireplace accessible — Clear the area around the fireplace and let us know about access restrictions or other work already planned. We travel to the customer, serving Denver and towns within 60 miles.
- We guide and rotate the camera — We move the camera through the flue and turn it to view the tiles and mortar joints. The scan may be limited by the flue’s shape, size, or offsets.
- Review the findings and next work — We use what is visible to determine whether cleaning, repair, or a different inspection step is appropriate. Visit length depends on access and the scope of work; adding cleaning or repairs changes what must be done on site.
What Affects the Cost of a Chimney Camera Inspection
The price depends on the inspection scope and how much of the flue the camera can access. A Level 2 inspection includes a video scan, while a camera scan may be limited if the flue’s dimensions or offsets prevent the camera from passing through. Cleaning or repairs are separate work and can affect the total job cost.
Our listed price for a chimney inspection is a free in-home inspection; that does not state a separate price for a chimney camera inspection. We can provide a free quote for the requested work. For other chimney needs, see our chimney services in Denver or request a quote before booking.

Frequently asked questions
What does a chimney camera inspection show?
A small camera is guided through the flue and rotated to check flue tiles for cracks and mortar joints for failure. It can reveal interior areas that are hard to see from the fireplace opening, though offsets or flue size may limit the scan.
Is a chimney camera inspection the same as a chimney cleaning?
No. The camera scan checks the inside of the flue, while sweeping removes soot and creosote deposits. The CSIA says chemical creosote products do not replace mechanical sweeping because debris can remain on the smoke shelf, baffle, and offsets.
When should I request a video scan instead of a routine inspection?
The CSIA describes Level 1 as the usual inspection for routine annual checks and cleaning when nothing is changing. A Level 2 inspection, which includes a video scan, is recommended after a fire, before a sale, or when relining.
How much does a chimney camera inspection cost?
The listed price for a chimney inspection is a free in-home inspection, but no separate camera inspection price is listed. The scope, camera access, and any additional cleaning or repair affect the work to quote, so request a free quote for your job.
How long does a chimney camera inspection take?
Visit length depends on access and whether the camera can travel through the flue without being blocked by its shape or offsets. Adding a sweep or repair means more work on site, so describe any related concerns when you book.
Can you come to my home outside Denver?
Yes. We serve Denver and towns within 60 miles, and we travel to your home for the service. Share your address when you request a visit so we can confirm it is within our service area.
