Comprehensive Safety Inspections to Protect Your Family


Fremont County Fireplaces provides thorough chimney safety inspections throughout Cañon City and Fremont County, Colorado—identifying hidden hazards and ensuring your entire chimney system operates safely. Our comprehensive inspections go beyond basic cleaning to catch problems before they become dangerous situations or expensive emergencies.

With nearly two decades of industry experience, our certified technicians know exactly what to look for. We inspect every component of your chimney system—from the firebox to the crown—checking for structural damage, proper venting, carbon monoxide risks, and fire hazards that threaten your family's safety.


Most chimney problems develop silently over time—professional inspections catch dangerous issues before you ever see smoke, smell odors, or notice performance problems.

Fire Risk Assessment

We identify fire hazards including excessive creosote buildup, combustible clearance violations, and damaged components that could ignite. Early detection prevents chimney fires that destroy homes.

Carbon Monoxide Protection

Our inspection ensures deadly carbon monoxide vents properly outside your home. We check for blockages, backdrafting, and ventilation problems that allow toxic gases to enter living spaces.

Complete Documentation

You receive a detailed report of our findings with photos and repair recommendations. This documentation satisfies insurance requirements and provides valuable records for real estate transactions.

Fremont County Fireplaces uses industry-standard inspection methods and the latest diagnostic tools to give you accurate assessments and peace of mind.

What Our Safety Inspections Include

Testing and Evaluation of Your Chimney


  • Structural Assessment
    We examine the entire chimney structure for cracks, deterioration, and damage. This includes the foundation, masonry, crown, cap, and all accessible components.

  • Flue Liner Evaluation
    We inspect the flue liner for cracks, gaps, and deterioration using specialized tools and camera equipment. Damaged liners create serious safety hazards.

  • Ventilation Testing
    We verify proper draft and ventilation to ensure combustion gases exit safely. Poor ventilation causes carbon monoxide accumulation and smoke problems.
  • Clearance Verification
    We measure clearances from combustible materials and verify proper installation according to code requirements. Inadequate clearances cause house fires.

  • Moisture Detection
    We look for water damage, efflorescence, and moisture infiltration that accelerate deterioration. Early detection prevents expensive structural repairs.

  • Appliance Evaluation
    We inspect your fireplace, wood stove, or other appliance for proper operation, damage, and compliance with manufacturer specifications and safety standards.
