Our Services

If you’re a Northfield homeowner typing “chimney inspection” into Google, you’re looking for peace of mind before the next fire-season. A proper inspection checks for creosote buildup that can ignite, blocked flues that choke the flow, and poor draft that pushes smoke back into your living room. We’ll also spot cracked or loose bricks that could crumble and start a fire, and test the clearance around the chimney to keep the house safe. Pricing is clear-cut with no hidden fees, and you can set up a convenient appointment in a few clicks or a quick call to (888) 295-7280. The job usually takes an hour, includes a camera crawl inside the flue, a brush-down of soot, and a written report on what needs fixing now and later.
