Most homeowners don’t think about their chimney until something goes wrong—smoke backing up into the room, a strange smell, maybe a visible crack in the brick. But by the time those signs show up, damage has often been quietly developing for months—sometimes years.
That’s why inspections aren’t just a line item for us. They’re the first defense against fire hazards, structural issues, and costly surprises. And not all inspections are created equal.
At Top Hat Chimney Sweeps, we don’t do quick glances or check-the-box evaluations. We inspect like your home is our own—because for over three decades, protecting families has been our mission.
An inspection isn’t just looking into the firebox and checking for soot. A proper chimney inspection includes:
Interior and exterior evaluation of the firebox, flue, damper, cap, crown, and flashing
Checking for moisture intrusion, drafting issues, and carbon monoxide risks
Verifying code compliance with standards like NFPA 211
Assessing whether the chimney is safe to use—and what’s needed if it isn’t
But here’s what sets us apart: we show you what we see.
Our inspections include photo documentation, written reports, and plain-language explanations that put you in the driver’s seat.
We believe an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner. That’s why we don’t just inspect—we educate.
We’ve seen too many families blindsided by major repairs because a “basic inspection” missed the warning signs. Sometimes, it’s a cracked flue liner that wasn’t visible without a camera. Other times, it’s missing flashing that allows water into the walls.
It’s the things you don’t see that often pose the greatest threat. That’s why our technicians are trained to slow down, pay attention, and look for patterns. We don’t rush, and we don’t guess.
We follow a principle we call the Top Hat Standard:
Inspect thoroughly. Document honestly. Educate clearly. Protect proactively.
It’s not just a checklist—it’s a commitment.
We know that the word “inspection” can feel like a setup for an upsell. But that’s not who we are.
Our company was founded in 1988 by Kenneth Fredenburg, a Navy veteran who believed that protecting others was a lifelong duty. Today, as a second-generation family-owned business, we carry that legacy forward.
When we inspect a chimney, we’re not looking for what we can sell—we’re looking for what we can solve.
That’s why our reports are crystal clear. That’s why we include national standards and code citations. That’s why our technicians walk you through what’s urgent, what’s recommended, and what can wait.
Because our job isn’t just to do the work—it’s to protect your peace of mind.
We could tell you more, but our customers say it best.

These reviews aren’t just compliments. They’re proof that our approach works—and that people value truth over transactions.
Whether it’s your first chimney inspection or your fifth, don’t settle for surface-level service. Our team is trained to uncover what matters, explain it clearly, and help you make the best decision for your home.
