Our Services

A chimney inspection in Waltham, Massachusetts is the first step to keeping your home safe and warm. Our techs check for creosote buildup, which can turn into a fire if left alone, and look for blocked flues that stop smoke from escaping. We also test the draft to make sure the fire pulls properly and spot any signs of smoke backing up into the house. The inspection includes a close look at bricks and mortar for cracks or loose pieces that could fail under heat. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no surprise fees, and scheduling is simple—just call (888) 295-7280 and pick a time that works for you. Most jobs take about an hour, and you’ll get a written report detailing any needed repairs or clean-out work.

A full inspection covers the firebox, flue, chimney crown, and mortar joints. We look for creosote buildup, cracks, and any blockages that could cause smoke to back up. The camera inspection checks the interior for hidden damage. We also test the draft to make sure smoke is pulling up, not into your house. Any issues are noted and you get a clear report with recommended repairs. The goal is to keep your chimney safe and efficient.

Pricing depends on the type of inspection and the chimney’s condition. A basic visual check starts at a flat rate, while a camera inspection adds a small fee. If we find heavy creosote or structural cracks, the repair cost is quoted separately. We never charge for the initial assessment report. Discounts may apply for multiple chimneys on the same property. You’ll know the total before any work begins.

You don’t have to stay for the whole inspection, but we like a quick hello. Someone should be home to let us in and point out any concerns.

Just make sure we have clear access to the chimney area.

A typical chimney inspection runs 45 minutes to an hour. Simple visual exams are on the shorter side. Adding a camera scan or cleaning can push it a bit longer.

We stand behind our work with a 30-day guarantee on all inspection findings. If a problem we missed causes trouble within that window, we’ll return to fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers workmanship, not parts or materials you choose to replace. We’ll also provide maintenance tips to keep the chimney in good shape. Our goal is to earn your trust and keep your home safe. Any claim must be reported within the guarantee period.

Clear the area around the chimney before we arrive. Remove any stored firewood, decorations, or fragile items that could get knocked over.
