What a Chimney Camera Inspection in Salt Lake City Can Show

Smoke or a fireplace that drafts poorly

A camera lets us examine the flue interior for visible buildup or an obstruction that could affect the path smoke takes up the chimney. Tell us when the problem happens and whether it changes as the fireplace warms.

You want to use a fireplace you have not used recently

Before you light a fire, an interior look can help identify visible concerns inside the flue. The inspection gives you information about the chimney itself, rather than relying only on what you can see from the room.

You are unsure what is behind a chimney concern

Staining, debris, or a change in fireplace performance can prompt a closer look inside. The camera helps us examine the flue and explain whether the finding points to a cleaning need or another chimney service.

You want to check the flue after chimney work

A video inspection can show the interior condition of the flue after repair or other work. We review the images with you so you can understand what is visible, rather than relying on a brief verbal description.

You are comparing next steps for an older chimney

A camera view can help reveal visible interior wear or damage that may need further attention. It is a practical way to focus a follow-up conversation on what the inspection actually shows.

What We Check During a Chimney Video Inspection

  • The inside of the flue — We guide a camera through the accessible chimney passage and view the interior on screen, looking for visible conditions that may affect its use.
  • Visible buildup — We look for deposits inside the flue that may call for cleaning. A camera inspection shows what is visible; cleaning is a separate service when the chimney needs it.
  • Obstructions and debris — The camera can help us identify visible material blocking or narrowing the passage. We explain what we see and whether another service is needed to address it.
  • Visible cracks or deterioration — We check the camera view for signs of damage inside the flue. When a closer repair assessment is appropriate, we can handle chimney repair as a separate service.
  • The areas the camera can reach — We review the accessible sections and tell you what the images do and do not show. The inspection is a visual check of the flue, not a promise that every concealed part of a chimney is visible.
  • Findings and recommended next steps — We explain the observed condition in plain language and recommend only services the homeowner needs. You can review our chimney sweep service if the findings point to cleaning.

How We Carry Out a Chimney Camera Inspection

  1. Book the inspection — Call (385) 243-7715 to arrange a visit. We serve Salt Lake City and towns across the Wasatch Front within 60 miles, and you can tell us what you have noticed with the fireplace or chimney.
  2. Make the fireplace accessible — Have the fireplace or appliance opening available so we can reach the chimney passage. Point out any smoke, draft, or debris concerns you have seen; those details help us focus the inspection.
  3. View the flue with the camera — We feed the camera into the accessible flue and inspect the interior view for buildup, obstructions, and visible damage. The time on site depends on the access and how much of the flue needs reviewing.
  4. Review what the camera shows — We go over the visible findings and explain what work, if any, is recommended. If a repair is needed, our chimney repair service can address qualifying chimney issues.

What Determines the Cost of a Chimney Camera Inspection

The cost depends on the chimney and the scope of the inspection, including access and how much of the flue needs to be reviewed. If the camera reveals a need for cleaning or repair, that work is separate from the inspection and depends on what the chimney requires.

Call (385) 243-7715 for a quote based on your chimney and the service you need. We explain the work clearly and recommend only necessary services; a camera finding does not automatically mean you need a repair or cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a chimney camera inspection cost?

The cost depends on the chimney, access, and how much of the flue needs to be inspected. Call (385) 243-7715 for a quote based on your chimney and the work involved.

Does a chimney camera inspection clean the chimney?

No. The camera inspection checks the flue interior and shows visible conditions; cleaning is a separate service. Chimney cleaning starts at $89, and we recommend it when the chimney needs cleaning.

What can a camera inspection find inside my chimney?

It can show visible buildup, debris or obstructions, and signs of damage in the sections the camera can reach. We review the images with you and explain whether they point to a cleaning or repair need.

How long does a chimney camera inspection take?

The visit length depends on access and how much of the flue needs reviewing. We inspect the accessible interior, then go over the visible findings and any recommended next steps.

Do I need a camera inspection if my fireplace is smoking?

Smoke or poor drafting can be a reason to inspect the flue, since buildup or an obstruction may affect the smoke path. Tell us when the issue occurs so we can consider it alongside what the camera shows.

Can a camera inspection tell me whether my chimney needs repair?

It can reveal visible signs of interior damage in the areas the camera reaches, but a repair recommendation depends on the condition found. We explain the findings and recommend chimney work only when it is needed.
