Steerable Endoscope in Chimney Inspections – Hoax or Revolution?

It’s the offseason for using a fireplace which means it’s the best time to inspect your chimney for peace of mind. If you look around, you might have noticed that some chimney inspection companies offer steerable endoscope video inspections. Is this a hoax to add some unreasonable fees to the final invoice or do steerable endoscope video inspection add value?

How is a Borescope camera used in inspections?

Experts use video cameras to access parts of the chimney that are hard or impossible to reach normally, such as the chimney flue. This process speeds up the inspection which can be easily shown to the customer to explain any issues they have found.

The use of video cameras can also show a before and after of cleanups, which would give the customer a peace of mind that they were serviced by a trustworthy expert. In turn that would lead to returning customers and favorable reviews for the company.

Inspection camera adds value to the Chimney Inspection

Video inspections bring peace of mind for both the inspector and the customer as there would be photo and video proof of the inspection and cleaning. This also helps with documenting the inspections for future homeowners.
