LUX Fireplace Inspections - COVID-19 UPDATE

Covid-19 and Fireplace/Chimney Inspections

A fireplace/chimney inspection is a vital part of a home purchase. LUX continues to conduct fireplace/chimney inspections during the COVID-19 outbreak taking safety precautions when performing the inspection. We will continue conducting inspections as long as it does not conflict with government orders, recommendations, and our health. 


Everyone involved with the fireplace/chimney inspection is responsible for helping with safety; this includes but is not limited to buyers, agents, homeowners, and other trades. LUX is taking the following precautions based on current recommendations from reliable sources such as the CDC, The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, and other sources. We should all be aware that the situation is changing constantly. We should all monitor reliable sources, and act if recommendations change.


During the COVID-19 pandemic LUX Fireplace Inspections will not be having customers physically sign inspection agreements. Payment by credit card or check will be considered acceptance of the inspection agreement. All agreements will continue to be the last page of all inspection reports.
