Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup.
