Chimney Inspection for Roseville homes
Roseville has grown so fast for so long that its chimney stock reads like a timeline. Old Roseville near the rail yard holds early twentieth-century housing with small original masonry fireplaces. The area around Sunrise and Douglas filled in through the 1970s and 1980s with tract housing and factory-built fireboxes. Then West Roseville — Fiddyment Farm, Westpark, Sierra Vista — added tens of thousands of homes from the late 1990s onward, virtually all with direct-vent gas appliances and no wood burning at all. The consequence is that a Roseville service call could be anything, and we ask more questions on the phone here than anywhere else. West Roseville in particular has a large population of gas fireplaces that have never been touched since the builder installed them, in homes now fifteen to twenty-five years old, which is well past the point where gaskets and burner assemblies need attention.
Three clearly separated eras: early-1900s masonry in Old Roseville, 1970s-1980s factory-built units around Sunrise and Douglas, and post-1998 direct-vent gas across Fiddyment Farm, Westpark and Sierra Vista. The West Roseville gas population is largely unserviced since original installation, with many units now fifteen to twenty-five years old.

Process
How the visit works
Confirm which level you need
Level 1 for an unchanged system in continued service. Level 2 for a sale, a fuel change, or after a flue fire or earthquake. Level 3 when a hidden area must be opened up.
Exterior and roof assessment
Crown, cap, spark arrestor, flashing, mortar joints, and chase condition, photographed from the roof.
Interior and appliance check
Firebox, damper, smoke chamber, hearth extension, clearances to combustibles, and the appliance connection.
Video scan of the flue
On Level 2 and 3, a camera travels the full liner so cracked tile, gaps and blockages are seen directly rather than guessed at.
Written report, same day where possible
Photographs, findings, and a clear priority order. Formatted so an agent, adjuster or underwriter can act on it.

Questions
FAQs
We have never used our West Roseville fireplace. Does it still need service?
Yes, and unused gas fireplaces are actually a common source of problems. Dust and pet hair settle into burner ports over years of standing idle, spiders famously build webs inside gas orifices and block them, and the exterior vent termination collects leaves and nesting material regardless of whether you ever light it. The first fire of a long-idle unit is when problems show up.
Do you service both wood and gas in Roseville?
Yes, and given how varied Roseville is we ask on the phone which you have so we arrive with the right equipment. Old Roseville tends to be masonry and wood, the Sunrise and Douglas corridor tends to be factory-built wood, and West Roseville is overwhelmingly direct-vent gas. They are three genuinely different services.
What is the difference between a Level 1, 2 and 3 inspection?
Level 1 is a visual check of readily accessible parts, for a system in continued service with no changes — this is the annual standard. Level 2 adds a video scan of the flue and access to attics, crawl spaces and basements, and is required for property sales, fuel changes, and after any flue fire or earthquake. Level 3 involves opening up concealed areas and is only performed when a serious hazard is suspected.
Which level do I need to sell my house?
A Level 2. Every fuel-burning appliance transferring with the property should have one, and it is what most California agents, escrow officers and buyers' inspectors expect to see. If someone offers you a Level 1 for a sale, they are not giving you what the transaction needs.
