Our Services

When you’re a homeowner in University, Florida, and you type “chimney inspection” into a search box, you’re looking for peace of mind and a job done right. A thorough inspection checks for creosote buildup, which can turn into a dangerous fire if left unchecked, and makes sure the flue isn’t blocked by bird nests, debris, or corrosion. We test the draft to see if smoke is moving up the chimney the way it should, and we watch for smoke backing into your living space – a sign of poor airflow that can choke your home. You’ll get a clear, upfront price and a simple scheduling process, often booked online or over the phone at (888) 295-7280. The typical visit lasts about an hour, includes a visual and video camera look inside the flue, a check for cracks or loose bricks, and a written report with any needed repairs.

Reliable chimney inspection

Reliable chimney inspection means we check every inch of your flue for creosote buildup and cracks. We look for blocked sections that can cause smoke to back into the house. Our crew tests draft to make sure smoke rises properly. Any loose bricks are flagged before they become a fire risk. We give you a clear report so you know exactly what needs fixing.

Clear scheduling

Clear scheduling lets you pick a time that works for your busy life. We call ahead to confirm the day and bring all needed tools. Our techs arrive on time and ready to work. We don’t leave you waiting for a quote after the inspection. If anything changes, we give you a heads-up right away.

Honest pricing

Honest pricing means no surprise charges once we finish the job. We explain each line item and why it’s needed. You get a written estimate before any work starts. Our rates cover labor, equipment, and any follow-up checks. We stand by our price and won’t add hidden fees.

We’re familiar with local building codes and fire safety rules. You can trust us to keep your home safe.

Prep that matters

Prep that matters starts with you clearing the area around the fireplace. Remove debris, furniture, and anything flammable. Close doors to other rooms to keep smoke from spreading. We’ll verify the damper is open before testing draft. Proper prep lets us work efficiently and safely.
