Our Services

Chimney inspection in Chicago Ridge is a must-do for any homeowner who uses a wood or gas fireplace. A thorough check finds creosote buildup, blocked flues, and poor draft before smoke starts backing into the house. We look for cracks, loose bricks, and corrosion that can spark a fire or let dangerous gases leak into your living space. Our pricing is clear-cut with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. Scheduling is simple – just give us a call and we’ll fit you in at a convenient time. The job includes a camera look-inside the flue, a visual exam of the chimney crown and masonry, and a test of draft performance. After the inspection you’ll get a straightforward report and recommendations to keep your home safe.

A standard chimney inspection looks at the flue liner, firebox, and chimney crown. We check for creosote buildup, cracks, and any blockages that could cause a fire. The inspector will also test the draft and look for signs of smoke backing into the house. We use a flashlight and a camera to see hard-to-reach spots. All findings are written up in a clear report for you.

Pricing is based on the type of inspection and any extra work needed. A basic visual check runs a flat fee, while a camera inspection adds a small charge. If we find repairs, those are quoted separately. We’ll give you a written estimate before any work starts. Call us at (888) 295-7280 for a precise quote.

Clear the area around the fireplace before we arrive. Remove any loose items, like blankets or toys, from the hearth. Close all doors to rooms you don’t want smoke to travel through.

This will let us focus on the inspection and not on moving stuff.
