Chimney Inspection, done right.
A chimney does its work out of sight.
Most of it hides behind the firebox, inside the wall and above the roofline.
An inspection is how you find out what is up there before you light a fire.
Jerry’s Chimney Sweep inspects chimneys all over Little Rock.
One customer wrote that Jerry found and fixed problems that could have turned bad later.

What it covers
What an inspection looks at
Firebox and firebrick
The firebox walls get checked for cracked, loose or missing firebrick. That is where the fire burns.
The damper
We check that the damper opens all the way and closes snug. Smoke goes up, and warm air stays in the room.
Smoke chamber
The space above the damper is checked for heavy buildup. Surfaces that are rough, cracked or coming apart get noted.
Flue and liner
The flue is checked for creosote buildup and for a liner that is cracked, gapped or worn through.
Brick and mortar joints
The outside of the chimney gets a look. We watch for loose bricks, crumbling mortar and brick faces that flake off.
Crown, cap and flashing
These three keep water out. The crown, the cap and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof each get checked.
Watch for this
Good times to book one
- Before the heating season starts, ahead of the first cold night
- You just bought a home and know nothing about the chimney
- The fireplace has sat unused for years
- After a chimney fire, or a close call that felt like one
- After a big storm that could have done damage you cannot see from the ground
- You notice water stains, loose bricks or crumbling mortar near the chimney
