Brown Chimney's standard Level 1 inspection is $49 across Dallas — and the fee is credited toward any repair booked the same visit. A Level 2 camera run is $149 when the flue interior has to be seen rather than assumed, which is the standard after a chimney fire, a home sale, or a fuel-type change. Our crew works out of 3838 Oak Lawn Ave, so most Dallas appointments land the same week.
Dallas inspections turn up Dallas problems. Relentless UV and summer heat bake chimney crowns until they craze and crack; the storms that roll through DFW lift flashing and drive rain into any gap they find; and the long idle season lets birds and squirrels settle into uncapped flues. Every inspection ends with a written pass/fail finding and photos — the documentation realtors and insurers ask for. The full scope of each NFPA level is on our chimney inspection service page, and you can price it on the inspection cost calculator.
Level 2 camera inspection after a home purchase — Dallas, TX
In Dallas, the damage is driven by sun and storms, not frost. A chimney crown takes direct Texas UV for years until the concrete crazes into a web of fine cracks; then a DFW thunderstorm drives rain straight through them. By the time a stain shows on the ceiling, water has usually been tracking in for a season or two. A documented inspection catches it while it's still a small line item.
Our techs check the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber from inside, then the crown, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry from the roof — where most Dallas water problems start. You get a written verdict on every component with photos, and a separate line-item quote if anything needs work. If a nest or heavy debris turns up, a Dallas chimney cleaning clears it — and because the $49 credits toward same-visit work, the inspection pays for itself the moment anything real is found.
Our Southlake crew covers the northern DFW corridor, and together we handle the full Texas service area. See the local service list on the Dallas page.

The CSIA and NFPA 211 recommend an annual inspection for every chimney, used or not. Beyond the calendar, these are the situations that call for one now — several of them common in Dallas homes.
Real-estate transactions and post-storm situations call for a Level 2 camera inspection ($149) — the flue interior has to be documented, not assumed. Your technician confirms the right level on-site.

A standard Level 1 visit runs 45–60 minutes. Dallas appointments are usually available the same week.
01
Crown, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry examined from the roof — where most water problems start and where they're cheapest to catch.
02
Interior check of the firebox, damper operation, and smoke chamber. On gas units: burner, pilot, ignition, valve, and safety shutoffs tested.

03
Visual assessment of the flue from both ends per NFPA 211 Level 1. If the interior needs to be seen in full, a Level 2 camera run ($399) is offered — never assumed.
04
Every component gets a documented verdict with photos. No vague 'concerns' — a clear finding you can act on, file with insurance, or hand to a realtor.
Repairs themselves — the inspection documents and quotes them; work starts only after your written approval
Level 2 camera run — available as a $149 add-on when the flue interior needs to be seen
Cleaning — most clients book the sweep the same visit (the $49 fee credits toward it)
