Frequently Asked Questions

We can usually start the inspection within two business days of your call. Our crew works weekdays and can fit you in quick if you have an urgent issue. Give us a heads-up about any smoke or odors you’ve noticed. We’ll bring the tools and a camera to check the flue. If you need a same-day slot, call early and we’ll try to make it happen.

A standard chimney inspection covers the interior flue, the firebox, and the exterior masonry. We look for creosote buildup, cracks, and any signs of water damage. The camera will show hidden blockages and poor draft areas. We also check the damper, chimney cap, and any smoke spillage into the house. A written report is left for you with any needed repairs.

Pricing is based on the type of inspection and the chimney’s condition. A basic Level 1 check starts at a flat fee, while a Level 2 with camera work costs more. If we find major creosote or structural issues, there will be an added labor and material charge. We always give a clear estimate before any work begins. Payment is accepted by cash, check, or card on the day of service.

You don’t need to stay the whole time, but someone should be home to let the crew in. We’ll lock up after we finish and leave the door as we found it. If you have pets, keep them in a safe area. Let us know if you have any special access instructions. We’ll call you when we’re done so you can review the findings.

A typical inspection takes about one to two hours, depending on chimney size and condition. Simple clean-outs finish in the lower end of that window. More extensive camera surveys or repair estimates can push it longer. We try to minimize disruption to your day. After we finish, we’ll walk you through the report and next steps.

We stand behind our work with a 30-day warranty on labor and parts. If creosote builds up again or a crack reopens within that time, we’ll come back to fix it at no extra charge. The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by misuse or lack of maintenance. Keep the chimney clean and have regular inspections to stay covered. Call (888) 295-7280 if you need to schedule a follow-up under the warranty.

First, clear the area around the fireplace and chimney. Remove any items that could get in the way, like furniture or rugs. Open windows and doors to let fresh air in during the inspection. Make sure the damper is fully open so the inspector can see the flow. Shut off any wood-burning or gas appliances until the work is done.
