Chimney inspection for $49
A standard chimney inspection is $49, and the $49 is credited toward any repair or service we perform after the inspection. We inspect the chimney inside and out, then walk you through what we found in plain language before you spend anything on repairs.

What happens during the visit
You pick an arrival window
Book online and choose a 3-hour window, or call us. You get a confirmation right away and a reminder before we come.
We start at the fireplace
The firebox, the damper and the part of the flue we can see from inside the house.
Then the outside of the chimney
The brick and mortar, the crown on top, the cap, and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof.
We walk you through it
You hear what we found in plain language: what's in good shape, what to keep an eye on, and anything that needs work.
What a chimney inspection is
A chimney inspection is a check of the whole system: the fireplace or appliance at the bottom, the flue that carries smoke up and out, and the chimney on the roof. We look at what condition each part is in and whether anything needs attention.
If something does, the inspection is where that conversation starts. You see what we saw before anyone talks about a repair price.
When people book one
- The fireplace hasn't been looked at in a while and cold weather is coming
- You bought the house and don't know the chimney's history
- You've noticed something: a water stain near the fireplace, crumbling brick, a rusted cap, a smell from the fireplace
- Someone quoted you a big repair and you want another look before you spend the money
Camera inspection, add $75
See the inside of your own flue
Add a camera inspection for $75 and we put a camera through the flue so you can see the inside of your chimney for yourself, the same view we're looking at.
It adds about 30 minutes to an inspection or cleaning visit. Choose it when you book online.
