Our Services

A good chimney inspection in Portage, Michigan starts with a quick look at the flue, the firebox and the surrounding brickwork to spot any danger before it becomes a fire. We check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and turn a cozy fire into a nightmare, and we clear any blockages that stop smoke from leaving the house. Poor draft and smoke backing into the home are common problems we catch, protecting your family from carbon monoxide and uncomfortable smells. Our crew looks for cracks, loose bricks or missing mortar that could let heat slip into the house structure and cause costly damage. Pricing is transparent – a standard inspection runs about $150, with any extra work clearly itemized, and we can schedule the service at a time that fits your calendar. The whole job usually takes one to two hours, ending with a clear report and recommendations so you know exactly what needs fixing. If you’re ready, call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll get you on the books.

A standard chimney inspection checks the flue for blockages, looks for creosote buildup, and tests the draft. We inspect the chimney crown, flashing, and mortar for cracks or loose bricks.

All findings are written up in a clear report for you. This gives you a full picture of safety and needed repairs.

Pricing is based on the type of inspection and any extra work needed. A basic level-1 inspection runs a flat fee, usually around a couple hundred dollars.
