Our Services

If you live in Scotia, NY and your fireplace has been idle all winter, it’s time to get a proper chimney inspection. A good inspection checks for creosote buildup, which can ignite like a tinderbox if left unchecked, and looks for blocked flues that choke the draft. We also test the chimney’s draft to make sure smoke isn’t backing up into your living space, a dangerous sign of poor airflow. Any cracked or loose bricks get marked before they turn into a fire hazard, saving you costly repairs later. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and scheduling is straightforward – just give us a call at (888) 295-7280 and we’ll lock in a convenient time. The job typically takes a few hours, covering visual checks, camera inspection of the flue, and a brief safety report.
