Our Services

A chimney inspection in Security, Maryland is the first step to keeping your home safe and comfortable. We check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a house fire if left unchecked. We look for blocked flues and poor draft that force smoke to back up into your living space. Our crew spots cracks, loose bricks, and other flaws before they become costly hazards. We give you a clear price upfront, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Scheduling is simple – call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll set a convenient time. The job usually takes a few hours and includes a thorough visual check, soot sampling, and a written report of any needed repairs.

Reliable chimney inspection

We check every part of your chimney for creosote buildup and cracked bricks. A heavy coat of creosote can spark a fire, so we scrape it down clean. We look for loose mortar that could let heat melt into the house structure. Our crew tests draft to see if smoke is pulling up right. We spot blockages before they turn into dangerous back-drafts.

Clear scheduling

You call us and we set a time that fits your schedule. We arrive on time, ready with tools and a checklist. We walk you through what we’ll inspect, from flue to firebox. If anything blocks the flue, we note it and explain the fix. We finish the visit with a clear report and next-step options.

Honest pricing

Our prices are flat and transparent, no surprise fees. We charge by the inspection, not by the hour. You’ll get a written quote before we start any work. If we find a problem, we give you a cost-effective repair plan. The price covers creosote removal, flue cleaning, and a safety check.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we ask you to clear the area around the fireplace. Remove any stored wood or flammable items. Close doors to keep drafts from messing with the test. We also verify that the damper is working so the draft test is accurate. This prep helps us catch hidden cracks and blockages.

Follow-through

After the inspection we give you a detailed report and photo proof. We call you back with findings and recommended repairs. If you need work done, we schedule it quickly and confirm costs. Our follow-up includes a final safety check once repairs are finished. Call (888) 295-7280 if you want to set up your inspection.
