Why Regular Chimney Inspections Matter
- Check the flue and liner for cracks, gaps, or damage
- Look at the crown, cap, and masonry from the exterior
- Check for blockages, creosote buildup, or animal nests
- Confirm the chimney is drafting properly
- Give you a detailed report of what we found
Why It Matters: A hidden crack, blockage, or damaged liner can lead to smoke, carbon monoxide, or fire risk in your home. A regular inspection helps catch problems early.
Tip for Homeowners: If you're buying or selling a home, or it's been a while since your last inspection, it's a good time to schedule one before you use your fireplace.
