Our Services

A good chimney inspection in Fountainhead-Orchard Hills starts with knowing what can go wrong before it does. Too much creosote builds up on the walls and turns the flue into a fire hazard, while a blocked flue or poor draft can push smoke straight into your living room. We check every section of the chimney, look for cracks or loose bricks, and make sure the airflow is clear so the fire stays safely out of the house. Our pricing is transparent – a flat rate for a full visual and video scan, plus any extra work like sweeping or repairs outlined up front. Scheduling is simple: call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll set a time that fits your calendar, then our crew arrives on time, completes the inspection, and leaves you with a clear report and safety recommendations.

A full chimney inspection looks at the flue, the firebox, and the exterior masonry. We check for creosote buildup, cracked or loose bricks, and any blockages that could cause smoke to back up.

All of this is done while you’re home, so you can see what’s going on and ask questions. Call us at (888) 295-7280 if you want to set a date.

If we need to do any repairs, we’ll schedule a follow-up when you’re home. It keeps everything clear and avoids miscommunication.

A standard chimney inspection takes about an hour, give or take. Bigger homes with multiple flues can run a bit longer, maybe up to two hours.

You’ll have the results before the crew packs up and leaves.

We stand behind our work with a written guarantee on any repairs we perform. If a problem shows up within the warranty period, we’ll come back and fix it at no extra charge.
