hortly after the Northridge earthquake in 1994, Southern California was flooded with “Chimney Technicians,” though few were trained professionals. Since then, many have fallen by the wayside but there are still some giving erroneous data and performing incorrect repairs. From this sprang the demand for chimney companies that do not have a conflict of interest between inspecting and repairing the same chimney.

Established in early 1997, Certified Chimney Inspectors, Inc. (CCI) filled that need. Our inspector has thirteen years experience inspecting fireplaces and chimneys in Southern California. We protect you from the inexperienced inspectors and expensive bids left haphazardly by companies employing the “Buy Now” technique.

It is our job to inform you as to the chimney condition. We do not perform any repairs; we simply deliver the highest standard in certified inspections applying the safety guidelines as set forth by the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Should your chimney really have any damage; we will provide you with accurate information with detailed reports. And, because we are familiar with every technique of chimney repair, we can offer expert advice for the safest and most cost-effective options available to you.
