Frequently Asked Questions

We can get to your home fast, usually within a day or two. Just give us a call and we’ll put you on the schedule. We understand chimney issues don’t wait, so we move quickly. Our tech will arrive, check the flue, and look for creosote buildup. If we see any serious problems, we’ll tell you right away and suggest fixes.

A standard inspection covers the chimney cap, flue liner, and interior walls. We look for creosote, cracks, and loose bricks that could spark a fire. The draft is tested to make sure smoke is moving out, not back into your house. We also check the firebox for proper clearance. All findings are written up for you with clear photos.

Pricing is based on the size of the chimney and any extra work needed. A basic inspection starts at a flat rate, then we add costs for cleaning or repairs. If we need to remove a lot of creosote, that adds to the bill. We’ll give you a written estimate before any work begins. Call (888) 295-7280 for a quick quote.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but we like you to be there at the start. That way we can point out any concerns and answer questions. After the initial walkthrough, we can finish up while you’re out. If anything urgent comes up, we’ll call you right away. This keeps the process smooth and safe.

The inspection itself usually takes about an hour. Complex stacks or multiple fireplaces can add a bit more time. We’ll clean the camera lens and move any obstacles quickly. If we find major blockages, we may need extra time to clear them. We always let you know if the job will run longer than expected.

We stand behind our work with a guarantee on labor and parts. If a problem reappears within a set period, we’ll come back and fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers defects in the repair, not damage caused by misuse. We’ll give you a written warranty sheet after the job. Our goal is to keep your chimney safe and you satisfied.

Clear out any junk from around the fireplace. Move furniture and rugs away from the hearth. Make sure the wood stove doors are open so we can see inside. Shut off any gas valves if you have a gas insert. Have a fire extinguisher handy just in case. A clean, dry area makes the inspection faster and safer.

We cover the whole metro area surrounding the town. From the suburbs to the outlying neighborhoods, we’ll come out. Any residential chimney, wood-stove or gas-insert qualifies. We also service apartments and duplexes. Just give us a call and we’ll tell you if your address is in our route.
