We also spot cracks, loose bricks, or other structural issues before they become costly emergencies. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and scheduling is simple – just give us a call at (888) 295-7280. A typical visit takes about an hour and includes a visual inspection, a camera scan of the flue, and a detailed report with recommended repairs.

Honest pricing

Our pricing is transparent from the start. You get a written estimate before any work begins. No surprise charges for extra cameras or ladders. We explain why each service is needed, focusing on safety, not upsells. If you decide not to proceed, you owe nothing beyond the inspection fee.

Local professionals

Our team lives and works right here, so we know local code requirements. We’re trained to spot common issues like blocked flues caused by heavy leaves in our area. We use industry-standard tools to measure draft and temperature. Each inspector carries a torch, mirror, and video camera for thorough checks. Trust a neighbor who cares about your home’s safety.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we clear the area around the chimney base. This prevents debris from falling while we crawl up the interior. Homeowners should close doors to keep drafts out during the test. We check that the damper opens and closes fully. Proper prep saves time and gives an accurate reading.

Follow-through

After the inspection, we give you a detailed report with photos. The report marks any creosote, cracks, or blockage spots. We recommend next steps and give a timeline for repairs. Follow-up calls are made to see if you need help fixing the issues. We stay until you’re sure the chimney is safe and ready for use.
