Key Benefits of This Service

When should I schedule a chimney inspection?
Annual inspections are recommended for active systems, plus before property sales, after storms, or when you notice performance changes like poor draft or odors.
What does the camera inspection show?
Our flue cameras reveal interior cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, and structural damage that's invisible from ground level. This provides accurate assessment of your system's condition.
Do you inspect all types of heating systems?
Yes, we inspect chimneys, fireplaces, and stoves that burn wood, gas, or pellets, regardless of age or manufacturer.
Will I receive a written report?
Every inspection includes a detailed report with findings, recommendations, and photo documentation suitable for insurance or real estate purposes.
Can inspections identify carbon monoxide risks?
Our draft testing and structural assessment identifies ventilation problems that could allow dangerous gases to enter your home instead of exiting safely through the chimney.

Professional inspections provide the early detection that prevents expensive repairs and dangerous malfunctions, especially critical for heating systems that see heavy use during harsh northeastern winters. Secure your inspection appointment to ensure safe, reliable heating performance.
