What a Chimney Inspection in Lakewood Can Check
We travel to Lakewood homes for chimney inspections, so you can have the fireplace and chimney assessed where they are installed. Our chimney inspection is free in-home; call (720) 780-8924 to book. We’re open 24 hours a day, and same-day service is available.
The scope of an inspection matters. The Chimney Safety Institute of America’s 2019 Level 1 procedure checks readily accessible parts of the appliance and chimney, confirms the flue is not blocked, and recommends a sweep when buildup reaches 1/8 inch or more. The same source describes Level 2 as adding roof, attic, and crawl-space access plus a required video scan; it recommends Level 2 after a fire or weather event and before a sale.
How Lakewood’s Home Ages Shape a Chimney Inspection
The median Lakewood home was built in 1979, and 52% were built before 1980, while 21% date from 2000 or later, according to the US Census. That spread means age alone cannot tell you whether a chimney is clear or in good condition; the inspection needs to account for the actual appliance and accessible chimney parts at your home. With 46% of homes detached single-family houses, a chimney inspection can be relevant across a substantial share of local housing, but each system still needs its own assessment.

Three Reasons Lakewood Homeowners Book a Chimney Inspection
Smoke or draft changes
Smoke entering the room or a change in how the fireplace draws can be a reason to stop using it and arrange an inspection. A Level 1 procedure checks whether the flue is blocked.
Buildup you can see
Dark, flaky material visible in the firebox or at an accessible opening can signal that the flue needs closer attention. The CSIA’s Level 1 guidance recommends a sweep at 1/8 inch or more of buildup.
A sale, fire, or weather event
A home sale or a fire or weather event is a reason to ask whether a Level 2 inspection is appropriate. The CSIA’s 2019 procedure includes a video scan and access to the roof, attic, and crawl space for Level 2.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do while I wait for a Lakewood chimney inspection?
If you have noticed smoke entering the room or a change in fireplace draft, leave the fireplace unused until it has been checked. Note when the issue occurs and whether it happens with the fireplace or another connected appliance; those details can help focus the inspection.
Do you inspect chimneys in towns near Lakewood?
Yes. We serve Denver and towns within 60 miles, including nearby Edgewater and Wheat Ridge. We go to the customer’s home; you can also see our page for a chimney sweep in Edgewater.
Does a chimney inspection suit Lakewood’s mix of older and newer homes?
Yes. Lakewood has homes from many different building periods, so an inspection looks at the individual chimney and appliance rather than treating the age of the neighborhood as proof of a problem. The inspection level can also matter: the CSIA describes Level 2 checks for situations such as a sale or a fire or weather event.
How quickly can you reach a Lakewood home for a chimney inspection?
Our typical arrival time is 30 minutes, and we travel to the home in Lakewood. Call (720) 780-8924 to book; same-day service is available.
