Our Services

If you’re a Benton homeowner and you’ve typed “chimney inspection” into Google, you’re already thinking about safety. A proper inspection checks for creosote buildup that can turn your fireplace into a fire hazard. It also looks for blocked flues, poor draft, and smoke that backs up into your living space. We’ll point out any cracked or loose bricks before they cause a chimney fire. Pricing is clear up front, and scheduling is straightforward – just give us a call at (888) 295-7280. The job usually takes a couple of hours and includes a visual check, a camera scan of the flue, and a written report with any needed repairs.

A typical chimney inspection looks at the flue, firebox, and exterior masonry. We check for creosote buildup, cracks, and blockages that could cause a fire.
