You’ll spot creosote buildup, blocked flues, and poor draft before they turn a cozy night into a smoky disaster.

You get a written report with recommended fixes, so you know exactly what’s needed to keep your home safe.

A full chimney inspection checks the flue for blockages, measures draft, and looks for creosote layers. We tap and pry bricks to spot cracks or loose mortar.

Clear the area around the fireplace before we arrive. Remove any flammable items, like furniture, rugs, or holiday decorations. Make sure pets are out of the way and doors are unlocked for access.
