Our Services

A chimney inspection in South Portland, Maine, is essential for any homeowner who uses their fireplace. We check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a house fire if ignored. Blocked flues, poor draft, and smoke backing into the home are common problems we spot and fix. Our inspection also looks for cracked or loose bricks that could let heat escape and start a fire. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and you can schedule a visit in just a few clicks or a call to (888) 295-7280. The job usually takes a couple of hours and includes a camera look inside the flue, a brush cleaning if needed, and a written report on the chimney’s condition. This thorough approach keeps your family safe and your fireplace working right.

Reliable chimney inspection

We check every corner of your chimney for creosote buildup and cracked bricks. Thick creosote can spark a fire, so we scrape it clean. We look for blocked flues that stop smoke from escaping. If the draft is weak, we test it and suggest fixes. Our report shows any danger before it spreads.

Clear scheduling

Scheduling is simple, just call and pick a time that works for you. We fit around work and school hours. Our crew arrives on the dot, ready to start. No hidden delays, we finish the inspection in a few hours. You’ll get a clear follow-up email with the results.

Honest pricing

We charge a flat rate for a full chimney inspection, no surprise fees. The price covers cleaning of creosote and a visual check of bricks. If we find extra work, we give you a written estimate first. Our goal is to keep costs transparent and fair. Call (888) 295-7280 for the exact quote.
