Our Services

A solid chimney inspection in Chatham, Illinois keeps your home safe and warm when winter hits. We check for creosote buildup that can spark a fire, and we look for blocked flues that choke the flow of air. Poor draft and smoke backing into the house are common problems we spot and fix before they become dangerous. Our crew also inspects bricks and mortar for cracks or loose sections that could collapse under heat. You’ll get a clear, upfront price and a straightforward schedule, usually done in a couple of hours. Call (888) 295-7280 to set up an appointment and protect your family from chimney hazards.

Reliable chimney inspection

We come out, check the flue for creosote and any blockages. Too much creosote can ignite and start a fire. We look for cracks in the masonry and loose bricks that could let smoke in. A proper draft is essential, so we test it on the spot. If anything’s off, we tell you what needs fixing.
