Our Services

If you’re a homeowner in Dumfries, Virginia, and you’ve typed “chimney inspection” into Google, you’re probably worried about creosote buildup, blocked flues, or a draft that just won’t work. A proper inspection looks for those black, tar-like deposits, checks that the flue is clear, and makes sure air is moving up, not back into your living space. We’ll also spot cracks or loose bricks before they become fire hazards and test for smoke that could be backing up into the house. Our pricing is flat and posted up front so you won’t get surprise fees, and scheduling is as easy as a quick call to (888) 295-7280. The job includes a visual walk-through, a camera tour of the flue, and a written report with any needed repairs or clean-out recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can schedule a visit within a week of your call, sometimes sooner if we have an opening. Our crew will drive out to your address and do a full inspection. We’ll check for creosote, blockages and any cracks in the brickwork. If it’s an emergency we’ll come the same day. Give us a ring and we’ll lock in a time that works for you.

A standard inspection looks at the firebox, flue liner and chimney cap. We measure creosote buildup and look for soot deposits. The crew tests the draft and watches for smoke back-flow. We also check the masonry for cracks or loose bricks. Any problems are noted in a written report.

Pricing is based on the size of the chimney and the condition we find. A basic visual check starts at a flat rate, then any needed cleaning or repairs are added. We give a quote before any work begins, so you know the cost upfront. No hidden fees. If you need a full sweep, that’s charged separately.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but we do need access to the house and the chimney. Someone must let us in and be around for the safety check. If you’re not home, we can lock up the door and leave a note with the results. Just make sure we have a clear path to the fireplace. We’ll call you after the job is done.

A typical inspection runs about one to two hours, depending on the chimney’s length and condition. Simple visual checks are quicker, while a thorough sweep takes longer. We’ll finish the job and give you a report before you leave. If we find issues, we’ll discuss next steps afterward. Time may vary if the flue is heavily blocked.

We stand by our work and will fix any issues we missed during the same visit. If later a problem shows up that’s related to our inspection, we’ll come back and make it right.
