The Forensic Diagnostic Chimney Audit

We Don't Sell Repairs, We Sell The Truth

We offer one exclusive service: a comprehensive, top-to-bottom structural analysis of your chimney and venting system. No up-sells. No hidden repair fees. Just the definitive truth.

The Complete Diagnostic Package: $879.00

Every audit is an all-inclusive, clinical evaluation of your system. To ensure our sensors and cameras capture accurate data without interference from soot or creosote, your package includes a thorough pre-audit sweep performed by our authorized prep partners at The Mad Hatter. Once the system is prepped, our forensic engineers take over, utilizing over a dozen advanced diagnostic tools to map, measure, and analyze every inch of your chimney structure.

At completion of the chimney audit, a Forensic Dossier is submitted explaining the system integrity in detail. The Audit takes approximately 3.5 Hours to complete.

The Arsenal

Our Diagnostic Arsenal

Standard sweeps rely on flashlights and visual guesswork. We rely on calibrated technology. Every single Forensic Diagnostic Chimney Audit utilizes our complete suite of state-of-the-art equipment to anchor our findings in hard data:

• Internal Video Inspection: Wohler VIS 350 HD Camera
• Thermography & Heat Mapping: FLIR E5-XT Advanced Thermal Imaging
• Moisture & Hygroscopic Analysis: Tramex MEX5 Moisture Meter
• Ultrasonic Metal Thickness: Elcometer PTG8
• Laser Distance & Void Measurement: Bosch GLM165-40 & GLM400C
• Draft & Pressure Testing: Wohler DM602 & DP600
• Thermal Simulation: Steinel HL2020E
• Aerial Exterior Analysis: DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone

The Mobile Lab

The Mobile Forensic Lab

We bring the laboratory to your driveway. Our fleet features customized 2025 Mercedes Sprinter 2500s, engineered specifically for structural diagnostics.

Step inside our mobile lab and view your chimney's health in real-time. The lab is equipped with a 32-inch high-definition client viewing monitor, allowing you to watch the dual-data analytics unfold exactly as our engineers see them. From the Evidence Bench to the Decontamination Zone, our mobile units ensure a pristine, clinical environment for data processing.

Internal Video Scoping

360-degree HD flue analysis documenting offsets, breaches and obstructions.
