Our Services

If you live in Ishpeming and are Googling “chimney inspection,” you probably worry about creosote lining up inside the flue, a blocked pipe, or that annoying smoke that backs into the living room. A proper inspection checks for creosote buildup, cracks, loose bricks, and any draft problems that could turn a cozy fire into a fire-hazard. We’ll pull out the damper, shine a flashlight down the flue and use a camera to spot blockages or cracks before they spark a blaze. Pricing is clear up front—no hidden fees—so you know exactly what you’ll pay for the visual exam, creosote sweep and any needed repairs. Scheduling is straightforward; just give us a call at (888) 295-7280 and we’ll set a time that fits your calendar. The job typically takes a couple of hours, ends with a written report, and leaves your chimney safe for the next winter.
