Our Services

{"paragraph":"If you live in University City, MO and own a fireplace, a chimney inspection is a must. Over time creosote builds up inside the flue and can ignite, while blockages and a poor draft let smoke crawl back into your living room. These safety risks aren’t worth guessing – a certified inspector will check the flue for obstructions, measure draft, and spot any cracks or loose bricks before a fire starts. The job usually takes an hour, includes a video camera scan, a creosote level test, and a written report with repair recommendations. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and you can schedule an appointment online or by calling (888) 295-7280."}

Reliable chimney inspection

We check every inch of your chimney for creosote buildup and cracks. Creosote can ignite and cause a house fire, so we clean it thoroughly. We look for blocked flues that stop smoke from escaping. A blocked flue can push smoke back into your living space. Our inspectors also test draft to make sure smoke rises properly.

Clear scheduling

We work around your schedule, offering early morning and evening slots. You can book online or call us, and we’ll confirm the time within an hour. We arrive on time and bring all the tools needed for a full inspection. No surprise visits, just a set appointment you can rely on. If something comes up, we’ll reschedule with plenty of notice.

Honest pricing

Our pricing is flat and transparent, no hidden fees after the job. We give you a written estimate before we start any work. The cost covers inspection, cleaning, and a report on any needed repairs. If we find major issues, we explain the options and costs clearly. You pay only for the services you approve.

Local professionals

Our team lives and works in the area, knowing the local building codes. We’ve inspected hundreds of homes nearby, so we spot trouble fast. We use industry-standard tools to measure draft and detect blockages. Our experience means you get reliable, safe results every time. We treat each chimney like it’s our own.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we ask you to clear the area around the fireplace. Remove rugs, furniture, and any flammable items. This protects your home and gives us room to work safely. If you have any questions, call (888) 295-7280 for guidance. Proper prep helps us finish the job quickly and without damage.

Follow-through

After cleaning, we give you a detailed report of what we found. We point out any cracks, loose bricks, or draft problems. We recommend repairs before they turn into fires. You get a copy of the report for your records. Follow-up checks can be scheduled if needed to keep your chimney safe.
