Know Your Chimney Is Safe

You light that first fire of the season wondering if everything’s still working right. Maybe you’ve noticed some white staining on the outside, or there’s a smell you can’t quite place. These aren’t things you want to guess about.

A proper chimney inspection gives you actual answers. You’ll know if that flue liner needs attention before it becomes a carbon monoxide problem. You’ll catch water damage while it’s still fixable instead of after it’s rotted through your walls.

Most importantly, you’ll have confidence every time you use your fireplace. No more wondering if that crackling sound is normal or if something’s wrong upstairs.

Our Chimney Inspection Process

What Happens During Your Inspection

We start with a visual inspection of your chimney’s exterior, checking the crown, cap, and flashing for damage or wear. Then we examine the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber from inside your home.

The real work happens when we inspect the flue liner with specialized equipment. This is where most serious problems hide—cracks that let carbon monoxide seep into your home, or deterioration that could cause a chimney fire.

You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, photos of any issues, and honest recommendations about what needs attention now versus what can wait. No pressure, no inflated problems—just the facts about your chimney’s condition.

Beyond Inspection: Full Service Solutions

Your chimney inspection is just the starting point. When we find issues, we can handle the repairs with the same crew that did your inspection. No waiting for another company or explaining the problem all over again.

We handle everything from minor flue repairs to complete fireplace restoration. Our retail stove store means we can also help if you’re considering upgrading to a more efficient heating system.

Financing is available in-house, so necessary repairs don’t have to wait for your next tax refund. We’d rather see problems fixed promptly than watch them turn into bigger, more expensive issues down the road.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections, but your actual needs depend on how often you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly through the winter, yearly inspections catch problems before they become dangerous. If you only use your fireplace occasionally, every other year might be sufficient. However, if you’re buying a home or haven’t had an inspection in several years, don’t wait—get it checked now. Water damage and structural issues don’t pause just because you’re not using the fireplace.
Cleaning removes creosote and debris from your chimney, which is important for fire prevention. Inspection examines the actual structure and safety systems—the flue liner, damper, crown, and flashing. You can have a clean chimney that’s still unsafe due to cracks in the liner or damaged components. A proper inspection identifies these hidden problems that cleaning can’t fix. Most homeowners need both services, but inspection comes first so we know what we’re working with and can clean safely.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney’s accessibility, age, and the type of inspection needed. A basic visual inspection costs less than a comprehensive inspection with camera equipment. However, trying to save money with a cheap inspection often backfires—you either miss serious problems or end up paying for a proper inspection later anyway. We’d rather give you accurate pricing upfront than surprise you with hidden fees.
We’ll show you exactly what we found, explain why it matters, and give you options for addressing it. Some issues need immediate attention for safety reasons—like a damaged flue liner that could leak carbon monoxide. Others can be planned for future maintenance. We provide written reports with photos so you can see the problems yourself. There’s never pressure to fix everything at once, but we will be clear about what poses immediate risks versus what can wait.
If you haven’t had an inspection in over two years, or if you’ve noticed any changes like white staining, rust, or unusual odors, don’t use your fireplace until it’s been checked. Carbon monoxide poisoning and house fires aren’t worth the risk. If your last inspection was recent and found no problems, occasional use is probably fine, but pay attention to how everything looks and smells. When in doubt, get it checked—it’s much cheaper than dealing with fire damage or medical emergencies.
Yes, we work on wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, pellet stoves, and traditional masonry chimneys as well as newer metal chimney systems. Our experience since 2000 means we’ve seen most configurations and problems. We also handle fireplace restoration and can install new stoves through our retail operation. If you have an unusual setup or aren’t sure what type of system you have, we can identify it during the inspection and explain your options for maintenance or upgrades.
