Annual chimney & vent inspections are recommended by the National Fire Protection Agency. A professional annual inspection provides early detection of problems that could cause fires, carbon monoxide poisoning or structural deterioration. Our certified technicians thoroughly inspect your chimney system looking for anything that can cause your chimney/venting system to be unsafe, such as cracks, gaps, obstructions, and signs of moisture.
