Burnaby weather is relentless. Constant rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and high humidity create a “ticking time bomb” for masonry and roofing. Most contractors will tell you to tear everything down and start over—costing you tens of thousands.
Because we specialize in masonry rather than general contracting, our assessments focus on matching mortar composition and brick appearance to your home’s existing structure — which matters most on Burnaby’s older character homes, where mismatched repairs stand out and can accelerate future damage.
A large share of Burnaby’s housing stock dates to the 1960s–80s, and many of these homes have multi-flue chimneys — a wood fireplace plus a separate furnace vent — which means more to check during an inspection. Whether you’re buying a Burnaby home, meeting an insurance requirement, or just haven’t had your chimney looked at in a while, we provide certified chimney inspections across Central Burnaby, North Burnaby, South Burnaby, Metrotown, and Burnaby Heights.
Since our shop is based right here in Burnaby, we can typically turn around inspection reports fast — most written reports are ready within 24-48 hours, which matters if you’re on a real estate timeline. Basic Level 1 inspections start at $120 and are often free when bundled with a chimney sweep; see our full chimney inspection cost guide for complete pricing by inspection level.
