Our Services

A proper chimney inspection in Portland, Connecticut is the first step to keeping your home safe and warm during the cold months. We check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a chimney fire if left unchecked. Blocked flues and poor draft are examined so smoke doesn’t back up into your living area and create carbon-monoxide hazards. Our technicians look for cracked or loose bricks that could let heat escape or start a fire in the wall. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and you can book a visit online or by calling (888) 295-7280. The inspection includes a visual interior scan, a camera survey if needed, and a written report that tells you exactly what work, if any, is required.

We also inspect the chimney cap and flashing for proper sealing. All findings are written up in a clear report for you.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but we do need someone home to let us in and answer a few questions. Our technicians are trained to work safely and lock up when they leave.

A typical chimney inspection takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Smaller residential chimneys are quicker, while larger or multi-flue systems need more time.

Expect the job to be done before dinner most days.

We stand behind our work with a 30-day guarantee on any repairs we perform. If the same problem shows up within that window, we’ll come back at no extra charge.
