Chimney Video Inspection in Colorado
Professional chimney video inspection across Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. Family-owned since 1998 · Licensed & insured · Open 24/7.
About This Service
A video inspection sends a high-resolution camera through the full length of your flue, turning the one part of your chimney nobody can see into a recorded, reviewable picture. Cracked flue tiles, gapped joints, creosote glaze, hidden blockages — the camera finds what flashlights and mirrors miss.
We review the footage with you on-site, frame by frame if needed. If repairs come up, you'll see exactly why — and if the flue is healthy, you'll see that too. Either way, you're deciding from evidence rather than taking anyone's word for it.
Signs You Need Chimney Video Inspection
- Buying or selling a home with a fireplace
- Suspected chimney fire — even a brief one
- Persistent draft or odor problems with no visible cause
- Planning a liner, insert, or appliance change
What the Inspection Covers
Exterior: crown, cap, flashing, and masonry examined from roof level.
Interior: firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and clearances checked from below.
The flue itself: scanned end to end (Level 2 includes full video documentation).
Findings review: photos, plain-language explanation, and written recommendations.
Why It Matters for Safety
Chimney hazards are quiet by nature: liner cracks hide inside walls, carbon monoxide is invisible, and a chimney fire can smolder unnoticed. Inspection is the safety layer that finds problems while they're still cheap — which is why insurers, real-estate standards, and fire codes all lean on it.
Maintenance Tips From Our Technicians
- Put inspection on the same annual calendar as furnace service.
- After any major hail, wind, or lightning event, look the exterior over from the ground.
- Save your inspection reports — they're gold at sale time and for insurance.
- Any change in how the fireplace behaves is a reason to check, not wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't a flashlight inspection enough?
Most flues have offsets and bends, and even straight flues hide hairline tile cracks in shadow. A camera travels the full run under controlled lighting and records it — the difference between glancing and actually examining.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes. We document findings with images from the scan and walk you through them, so you have a record for your files, your insurance, or a real-estate transaction.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully. Donovan Chimney & Fireplace carries the licensing and insurance this work requires, and certificates are available on request — something we recommend asking of any company that climbs on your roof.
