Our Services

If you live in Alum Rock and just typed “chimney inspection” into Google, you’re probably worried about creosote, blocked flues, or smoke creeping back into your living room. A proper inspection will spot dangerous creosote buildup, check that the flue isn’t clogged, and test the draft so the fire burns clean and steady. We’ll also look for cracks, loose bricks, and any signs of water damage that could spark a house fire later on. Pricing is clear-cut with no hidden fees, and you can set up an appointment in a few clicks or a quick call to (888) 295-7280. The job usually takes an hour: we clean the throat, assess the liner, and give you a straightforward report on what needs fixing and what can wait.

We check every flue for creosote buildup and blockages. A thick black coating means a fire risk, so we clean it right away. We look for cracks in the masonry that could let sparks out.
