Our Services

A good chimney inspection is the first step to keeping your home safe and warm, especially here in Lake Shore, Maryland where winters can be harsh. When you search for “chimney inspection,” you’re looking to catch creosote buildup before it turns into a fire hazard, spot blocked flues that choke the draft, and prevent smoke from backing up into your living space. Our inspectors check every section of the chimney, from the interior lining to the exterior bricks, looking for cracks, loose mortar, and any signs of moisture damage. We give you a clear, upfront price and set up the visit at a time that fits your schedule, no hidden fees or surprise calls. The job usually takes a couple of hours, includes a camera look-inside the flue, a creosote removal if needed, and a written report with any repair recommendations – all to keep your home safe and your fireplace working right. If you’re ready, call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll get you on the calendar.

A proper chimney inspection looks at the interior and exterior of the stack. We scrape out any creosote buildup and look for soot that could choke the draft. The flue is checked for blockages, cracks, or loose bricks that might let fire spread. We test the draft to make sure smoke goes up, not back into the house. We also inspect the firebox, damper, and surrounding masonry for safety.

Pricing depends on the size of your chimney and how bad the buildup is. A basic visual check runs a set fee, then we add on extra for creosote removal or repair work. If you have a tall or double-flue system, the cost goes up a bit. We give you a written estimate before we start any work. No hidden charges – you’ll know the total before we lift a brush.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, just be around for the start and finish. We’ll lock the door and let you know when we’re done, so you can go about your day. If we need to discuss findings, we’ll call you right away. It’s best to be home for a quick walkthrough at the end. That way you can ask questions and approve any needed repairs.

A standard inspection takes about an hour for a single-flue chimney. Larger or more complex stacks might need a bit longer, up to two hours. If we have to clean heavy creosote, add extra time for that work. We try to finish before dinner time whenever possible. You’ll get a clear report as soon as we’re done, so you know what’s next.

We stand behind our work with a 30-day guarantee on all inspection findings. If a problem we missed shows up within that window, we’ll come back and fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers only the inspection and any cleaning we performed. Structural repairs are covered by the warranty of the materials we use. Ask us for the written guarantee before we start, and we’ll sign it for you.
