Fast, Reliable Chimney Inspection Across Anthem
A Level 2 chimney inspection in Anthem typically runs $275 – $475, and includes a full camera scan of the flue liner plus a check of the firebox, damper, crown, and chase top. If you own a home in Anthem Country Club, Sun City Anthem, or the neighborhoods along Eastern Avenue, you likely have a factory-built fireplace from the 1990s or 2000s that hides problems behind metal chase walls, not on visible brick. Our Chimney Inspection team knows these units and what fails on them. Call (775) 375-4267 for a written quote before anyone steps foot on your property.
Why Flint Chimney Co Henderson Is Anthem’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company
We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2002, and we’ve inspected hundreds of Anthem fireplaces, most of them zero-clearance units installed when these neighborhoods went up. Hank Delano runs our inspection program, and he insists on one thing: every Anthem job gets a camera inspection, not just a visual once-over. That’s because the problems in this part of Henderson hide behind prefabricated chase walls where a flashlight won’t reach.
Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the exact tools a factory-built chimney needs: poly brushes, rotary whips, and camera heads sized for six- and seven-inch metal liners. We don’t treat your fireplace like a masonry chimney, and we don’t use wire brushes on thin steel flues. That distinction matters in Anthem, where nearly every home built after 1990 has a metal chimney that generic sweeps can damage without knowing it.
When you book an inspection with us, you get a written price before work starts. That price covers the full Level 1 or Level 2 inspection, the camera footage, and a photo report you keep. The number you approve is the number you pay. No adjustments at the door, no add-ons after the fact. This is The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every Anthem job we take.
Styles & brands we work with
Chimney Leak in Anthem
A Chimney Leak in Anthem usually traces to one of three places: a cracked chase top on a factory-built unit, a rusted termination cap, or a failed seal where the flue pipe exits the chase. Because Anthem gets little rain but constant wind-blown dust, leaks here often announce themselves as streaks of rust or water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace, not as active dripping. Our team traces the path with a moisture meter before recommending any repair, and every repair we do carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Leak Points on Factory-Built Chases
Most Anthem homes have a metal chase enclosure around their flue, topped by a galvanized or stainless chase cover. After 15 to 25 years of desert sun, those covers corrode, especially where screws penetrate the metal. We replace them with properly sized covers, sealed with high-temperature silicone, and we always inspect the flue cap at the same time because they fail together.
Leak Costs in Anthem
Chase cover replacement on an Anthem zero-clearance fireplace usually runs $350 – $600, depending on flue diameter and chase size. A new termination cap runs $125 – $250 installed. If the leak requires a flue liner repair, Anthem homeowners typically pay $850 – $1,600 using a Cast-in-Place or HeatShield resurfacing system, and that work includes the written guarantee. Call (775) 375-4267 and we’ll quote the exact number for your fireplace before you commit to anything.
Chimney Camera Inspection in Anthem
A Chimney Camera Inspection in Anthem means running a high-resolution camera head up the full length of your metal flue liner, from firebox to termination cap, while recording footage you can watch with the technician. It’s the only way to see delamination, pinholes, or animal damage inside a zero-clearance chimney, because none of that is visible from outside the chase or through the firebox opening. Level 2 inspections in Anthem always include this camera pass, and we hand you the photo report as part of the written record.
What the Camera Shows
Inside your Anthem flue, the camera catches three things that visual inspections miss: separation at liner joints, corrosion pinholing from desert condensation, and creosote glaze that has hardened behind the firebox throat where light doesn’t reach. If you’re selling a home, buyers’ inspectors increasingly expect this footage in the disclosure package. If you’re staying, the footage gives you a baseline for future inspections.
When to Request It
Any Anthem home that hasn’t been inspected in three or more years should get a camera inspection, regardless of how often you use the fireplace. That’s because pack rats and desert dust don’t care whether you light a fire. We also recommend camera inspection before buying any Anthem resale home, especially in Sun City Anthem where original fireplaces are now 20 to 30 years old. A standard Level 2 camera inspection in Anthem runs $275 – $475, and that includes the full written report.
Trusted Brands We Service in Anthem
Most Anthem zero-clearance fireplaces use flue liners and termination caps from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, or Copperfield, and we stock service parts for all of them. That means we don’t have to double back to a supply house when your inspection turns up a failed cap or a liner joint that needs a repair sleeve. We specify materials by job, not by margin: if your Anthem fireplace needs a DuraFlex liner section, that’s what goes in, with the brand name printed on the invoice. You can verify what we install, and the repair still falls under our one-year written guarantee.

AfterCommon Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Anthem Homes
- Hardened creosote in rarely used flues. Anthem’s cool winters mean fireplaces get lit a handful of times, and that intermittent use creates a hard, glassy creosote glaze that a standard brush won’t remove. We address it with a rotary whip before inspection so we can actually see the liner surface.
- Desert pack rat nests in unused chimneys. A surprising number of Anthem fireplaces go unused for years at a time. Pack rats find the chase top, chew through or bypass the spark arrestor, and build nests against the liner. We remove those before the camera goes up, because a nest can hide a cracked liner.
- Wire-brush damage from previous cleanings. Generic chimney sweeps sometimes run a steel wire brush through a zero-clearance flue, scoring the thin metal liner and creating rust points. We see this in Anthem frequently, and it’s reversible only by resurfacing or relining, so we inspect carefully and document any prior damage.
- Cracked crown and chase top seals. The desert sun bakes outdoor sealant until it separates. When the crown or chase top seal fails, wind-blown dust gets pulled into the flue and abrasive grit works its way into joints. We reseal these during inspection and flag any that need full replacement.
Pricing for Chimney Inspection in Anthem, NV

A Level 3 inspection, required when the Level 2 camera shows suspected hidden damage, runs $800 – $1,400 and may involve opening a portion of the chase or removing the fireplace facing.

FAQs About Chimney Inspection in Anthem
Annually. Even a fireplace you light twice a year collects wind-blown desert dust and can house a pack rat nest within weeks of your last fire. The inspection interval for factory-built chimneys is the same as for masonry, not lengthened by light use. Call (775) 375-4267 to schedule your Anthem inspection, and we’ll put the next one on the calendar before we leave.
Because your fireplace’s flue liner sits inside a closed metal chase, out of sight from the firebox. A visual check shows you the firebrick and the damper; it does not show you a separated liner joint, corrosion from the inside, or a nest hidden around the bend. Anthem’s zero-clearance units need the camera pass for a real condition report. We include the footage and photo report with every Level 2 inspection.
Yes, and we remove those nests regularly in Anthem, especially in the larger custom properties around Anthem Country Club. Pack rats can chew through older spark arrestors or squeeze past loosely fitted caps. The nest builds against the liner, blocks draft, and bakes into a hard plug that requires removal before inspection. If you suspect one, call (775) 375-4267 and we’ll camera the flue to confirm before quoting removal.
Yes. The gas insert needs its annual service and venting check, and the original chimney still needs an inspection because the chase top, liner, and termination cap age the same as ever. Many Anthem homes have this exact setup. We inspect both in a single visit and give you a written condition report for each, with repair recommendations only where the camera shows an actual problem.
Level 1 is a visual check of accessible parts, intended for a chimney with no changes and no recent problems. Level 2 adds the full camera scan and is the accepted standard for real estate transactions, which is why Anthem home sales generally call for Level 2. We provide the written report escrow needs, and our timing works around your closing. Call (775) 375-4267 to book a real estate inspection before the inspector’s deadline.
For any chimney inspection in Anthem, from a basic Level 1 look to a full camera-documented Level 2 before closing, call (775) 375-4267. We’ll give you a written price, send a uniformed technician on time, and stand behind the work with a guarantee in writing.
