Our Services

A yearly chimney inspection is key for keeping your Portland home safe and warm. We check for dangerous creosote buildup, which can catch fire if it gets too thick. A blocked flue means smoke can't get out right, potentially backing up into your living room. Poor draft is a warning sign that something isn't right with your chimney's airflow. Our straightforward process involves a visual check and sometimes a camera to spot hidden issues like cracks or loose bricks before they become big problems. We offer clear pricing upfront, and scheduling is simple, so you know exactly what to expect. Don't wait until you smell smoke inside; call us at (888) 295-7280 to book your inspection.

Reliable chimney inspection

We get up in your chimney and look for trouble. Creosote is a big one. It's flammable stuff that builds up from burning wood. Too much can lead to a chimney fire. We also check for blockages like bird nests or debris. A blocked flue means smoke can't get out, and that's bad for your air quality. Poor draft is another sign something's wrong, making your fireplace hard to light. We spot cracks or loose bricks before they become major problems.

Clear scheduling

Booking is simple. Give us a call or check our website. We offer times that work for most homeowners. We'll confirm your appointment and send reminders. Our goal is to make getting your chimney checked as easy as possible. No hassle, just a clear date and time to get the job done right. We respect your time and schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

We try to get to you as soon as we can. Give us a call at (888) 295-7280 and we'll get you on the schedule. Sometimes we have openings same-day, other times it's a few days out. We'll work with you to find a time that fits your busy life. Regular checks are important for safety, so we aim to be prompt.

We look inside and out. We check for creosote buildup, which is flammable. We'll make sure the flue isn't blocked by debris or animal nests, which causes smoke to back up. We also inspect for cracks or loose bricks in the chimney structure itself. Spotting these issues early prevents bigger problems down the road, like chimney fires or water damage.

Pricing is straightforward and based on the type of chimney you have. A standard masonry chimney inspection is our baseline. Chimneys with wood stoves or metal liners might cost a bit more due to the extra checks needed. We'll give you a clear quote when you book your appointment, no surprises. It's a small price for peace of mind and safety.

You don't need to be home the whole time. We primarily need access to the fireplace or stove and the outside of the chimney. If you can unlock any gates and ensure your pets are secured, we can usually get the job done while you're out running errands. Just let us know if there are any specific access issues when you book.

Most inspections take about an hour, sometimes a bit longer. It depends on the size and complexity of your chimney system. If we find anything unusual, we'll take the extra time needed to explain it to you thoroughly. Our goal is a complete and accurate assessment, not just a quick look.

We stand behind our inspections. We can't guarantee that a chimney won't develop a problem later, as conditions can change. However, we do guarantee that our inspection will be thorough and that we'll identify any current issues like creosote, blockages, or structural damage. We'll give you an honest report of its condition at the time of service.

Make sure the fireplace and hearth are clear of any clutter. Remove any personal items from the mantel. We need good access to the fireplace opening. Also, keep pets and small children away during the inspection. We don't want any distractions. This helps us do our job safely and efficiently.

We cover most of the surrounding towns. This includes areas around the city. If you're not sure if you're in our service area, just give us a call. We'll let you know if we can come out to your place.

Our main job is inspecting your chimney, not hauling junk. We focus on spotting problems like creosote, cracks, and blockages. We're careful to keep the mess contained during the inspection. Think of us as the doctors for your chimney, not the clean-up crew for your whole house.
