Our Services

We check for creosote buildup that can ignite, make sure the flue isn’t blocked, and test the draft so smoke doesn’t crawl back into your living room. Our crew looks for cracks or loose bricks that could let heat seep into the house and cause a fire. You’ll get a clear price upfront, usually a flat fee for the full visual and camera inspection, so there are no surprise charges. Scheduling is simple – just give us a call and we’ll lock in a time that works for you, and we’ll walk you through what the inspection covers from top to bottom.
