A close look at the crown, brick, mortar, flashing and flue, with photos and a plain-language report on what to fix and when.
A yearly look at your chimney costs far less than a repair that could have been avoided. Water damage, loose bricks, a cracked crown and flashing gaps all start small. If you catch them early, the fix is usually quick. Missed for years, they become expensive.
Our inspection covers the whole chimney from roofline to firebox. We photograph what we find, explain it in plain language and put the findings in order of urgency: what is a safety issue, what needs repair soon and what can wait. You decide what happens next, with no pressure. A short inspection before the first cold night of fall is one of the easiest ways to start the season with confidence, and it gives you a record of the chimney condition that stays useful for years to come.
Crown, cap, brick faces, mortar joints, flashing, the lean and plumb of the stack and any signs of water entry or spalling.
Firebox, damper, smoke chamber and what we can see of the flue, plus signs of leaks in the attic and ceiling.
You receive photos and a short written summary that is easy to read and share with an insurer or a buyer.
A good time is before fall, after a storm, when buying or selling a home and when you see staining, cracks or crumbs of mortar.
