How This Automation Works
New chimney inspection scheduled or modification completed → Automated compliance verification and documentation report generated
Capture Chimney Inspection Data
System receives chimney specifications, installation details, or modification information from field inspections, digital forms, or existing property management systems through automated data collection.
Cross-Reference NFPA 211 Standards
System automatically compares all chimney specifications against current NFPA 211 requirements, including clearances, materials, construction methods, liner specifications, and maintenance protocols.
Identify Compliance Gaps
System flags any discrepancies between actual installation and NFPA requirements, categorizes issues by severity, and generates a prioritized list of required corrections or documentation updates.
Generate Compliance Documentation
System creates comprehensive compliance reports with photographic evidence, specification comparisons, code references, and recommended actions formatted for inspectors, property owners, and regulatory authorities.
Schedule Follow-Up Actions
System automatically schedules re-inspections, certification renewals, or corrective work based on findings, and adds these to team calendars with appropriate lead times.
Send Stakeholder Notifications
System distributes compliance reports and action items to property owners, service technicians, inspectors, and management teams with customized messaging based on role and urgency level.
How It Works
Streamline your chimney fire safety compliance process by automating NFPA 211 standard verification, inspection scheduling, and documentation management. This system automatically cross-references chimney specifications against current NFPA requirements, tracks inspection dates, generates compliance reports, and alerts your team when certifications approach expiration. Eliminate manual code checking, reduce compliance risk, and ensure every chimney installation meets stringent fire safety standards without the administrative burden. Perfect for chimney service companies, building inspectors, and property management firms requiring systematic compliance oversight across multiple properties and installations.
The Trigger
The system activates when a new chimney inspection is entered, a chimney system modification is logged, or a scheduled compliance review date arrives. It can also trigger when new NFPA standards are published or when certification expiration approaches within your defined timeframe.
The Action
The system instantly compares chimney specifications against NFPA 211 requirements, generates a detailed compliance report highlighting any gaps, updates your compliance database, schedules follow-up inspections if needed, and sends notifications to relevant stakeholders with actionable next steps and documentation.
Common Use Cases in Chimney

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Manual Code Verification
Remove the time-consuming process of manually cross-referencing chimney specifications against NFPA 211 standards, allowing inspectors to focus on physical assessment rather than documentation review.
Reduce Compliance Violations
Catch compliance issues before installations are finalized, preventing costly retrofits, failed inspections, and potential liability from fire safety standard violations.
Maintain Complete Audit Trails
Automatically create and store comprehensive compliance records with timestamps, inspector notes, and photographic evidence that satisfy regulatory requirements and protect against liability claims.
Never Miss Inspection Deadlines
Automated scheduling and multi-channel reminders ensure re-inspections, certifications, and compliance reviews occur on time, preventing lapses that could result in penalties or insurance issues.
