Safe chimneys and clean air ducts, done right the first time.

The national fire-safety standard for chimneys (NFPA 211) recommends an inspection every year. Whether it needs a cleaning depends on how much you burn and how much buildup we find. A fireplace used every weekend in winter usually needs one; one used a few times a year may not.

Creosote is the tar-like residue that wood smoke leaves on the inside of the flue. It’s flammable, and heavy buildup is the most common cause of chimney fires. It also causes that smoky smell on humid summer days.

NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection, which includes a camera scan of the flue, whenever a property is sold. Many buyers, attorneys, and insurers ask for one. We provide a written report with photos.

Often, yes. Gas appliances produce cooler, wetter exhaust than oil, and an old clay-tile flue that is oversized or cracked may not vent it safely. We inspect the flue and tell you whether a new liner is needed.

Dryer vents about once a year for most homes. Air ducts don’t follow a fixed schedule. The EPA suggests cleaning when there’s heavy dust or debris, signs of pests, or visible mold, and many homes go several years between cleanings. We’ll show you footage and tell you honestly if yours can wait.

Usually, yes. Tell us what you need when you call or in the form, and we’ll plan the visit to cover both.
