Chimney Inspection in Clifton, NJ

Catch Problems Early. Stay Safe. Save Big.

A chimney that looks fine from the outside can still hide dangerous issues inside. At Better Built Construction, we offer thorough, professional chimney inspection services in Clifton, NJ and nearby areas. Whether you use your chimney daily or it’s just part of your roof system, a regular inspection is critical to protect your property — and your safety.

Why Chimney Inspections Matter

Over time, chimneys face weather damage, heat stress, blockages, and decay. Without inspection, these problems can go unnoticed until they become dangerous or expensive.

A professional chimney inspection helps you:

✅ Prevent fires and carbon monoxide leaks
✅ Detect water damage or cracks early
✅ Identify roofing issues caused by chimney problems
✅ Maintain structural integrity
✅ Keep your chimney code-compliant and safe to use

Whether you're using a fireplace, wood stove, or just need a roof/chimney system check — we’ve got you covered.

What We Check During a Chimney Inspection

At Better Built Construction, we perform comprehensive visual and structural chimney evaluations. Our inspection includes:

  • Masonry Condition – Checking for cracks, spalling bricks, and deteriorating mortar

  • Flashing – Making sure the metal seal between roof and chimney is watertight

  • Chimney Cap & Crown – Inspecting for rust, cracks, or missing elements

  • Flue & Liner – Ensuring your venting system is intact and free of obstruction

  • Interior Damage – Looking for signs of moisture, smoke stains, or unsafe buildup

  • Draft & Ventilation – Confirming airflow and detecting carbon monoxide risk

We’ll give you a full report, walk you through any concerns, and recommend next steps — with no pressure and no upselling.

When Should You Get a Chimney Inspection?

  • Annually – Especially if you burn wood or use a gas fireplace

  • After a storm – Chimneys are often damaged by high winds and flying debris

  • When buying or selling a home – A must for inspections and real estate closings

  • If you notice leaks or stains – Water issues often trace back to the chimney

  • Before winter – Ensure everything’s sealed and safe for heating season
