How we solve it

Scratching or rustling sounds from inside the chimney, especially in the evening, usually mean something has gotten into the flue, whether a bird's nest built during a season the fireplace sat unused or something larger. A Level I inspection checks the flue for exactly that kind of blockage before a fire ever gets lit again, since lighting a fire with something lodged in the flue is a real risk. If the inspection finds a nest or a blockage, it gets noted in the written report and cleared before the fireplace goes back into use, not after.

Common Chimney Inspection problems and what causes them

Bell is in Los Angeles County. Bell is 1.1 miles from the Commerce branch, Eco Grizzly's branch nearest the city.

What it costs to fix and how long it takes

A Level I inspection is $49 for new customers who book online, a visual assessment with no camera and no video scan. If a Level II video scan turns out to be needed, it is quoted before anyone proceeds. The written report carries photos and a condition rating for each component, and it is delivered digitally within 24 hours. A standard chimney sweep starts at $199, with the inspection fee waived when you add one to the same visit.

Bell homeowners ask us this a lot

Common questions answered by our certified technicians.

$49 for new customers who book online covers the Level I inspection. A standard sweep starts at $199 instead, if that's the service actually needed. Anything the inspection turns up beyond a sweep, a liner, a crown, a cap, gets quoted after the inspection once a technician has actually seen the flue's condition.

Call or text (424) 258-9882 to book a Bell chimney inspection. A technician checks the firebox, the damper, and the reachable flue, then writes up the findings in a report left with the homeowner.

A chimney inspection itself doesn't involve any structural changes, so it isn't the trigger for a permit question. If the inspection turns up a repair that does call for one, the Bell building department's permit page is the place to check before that work is scheduled. A technician can point out which findings, if any, tend to raise that question once the inspection report is in hand.
