CHIMNEY VIDEO INSPECTIONS in Portland, OR

Serving Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington

Professional Chimney Camera Inspections

Lifetime Chimney provides professional chimney video inspections in Portland, OR. A chimney video inspection is a vital part of understanding your chimney’s true condition. The process involves inserting a camera into the flue to scan the interior surfaces that can’t be seen with a normal visual inspection. This technology allows us to identify hidden issues like cracked flue tiles, missing mortar, creosote buildup, flue obstructions, and other conditions that could lead to safety problems or reduced performance. Our team uses this advanced inspection method to give you a clear picture of your chimney from top to bottom.

How Our Chimney Video Inspection Works

When we perform a chimney video inspection, our certified chimney technicians carefully insert a high-resolution video camera into the chimney flue. The camera is guided slowly through the interior to capture real-time video of the chimney’s lining and internal structure. As the camera moves down or up the flue, we watch the video feed on a monitor, noting any irregularities or signs of damage that may not be visible from the outside. This allows us to accurately diagnose concerns and recommend the appropriate next steps.

Protect Your Home from Hidden Chimney Damage

A chimney can appear fine from the outside while hiding significant issues deep within the flue. Video inspections help us catch problems early, before they develop into costly repairs. For example, a cracked flue liner or missing mortar joints may not be visible until a camera reveals them. These hidden conditions can lead to water intrusion, poor draft performance, or even fire hazards if undetected. By incorporating video scanning into our inspection process, we provide you with a complete understanding of your chimney’s health and what actions may be needed to keep it safe and functional.

When to Schedule a Chimney Video Inspection

Smoke entering your home even when the damper is open
