We check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a chimney fire if left unchecked. Blocked flues and poor draft are examined so smoke doesn’t back up into your living space. Our crew looks for cracked or loose bricks that could let heat escape or cause a structural failure. We give you a clear, upfront price and explain exactly what the inspection will cover, from camera videos to chimney sweeping recommendations. Scheduling is simple – just call (888) 295-7280 and pick a time that works for you. This thorough, no-frills approach protects your family and your wallet.

Reliable chimney inspection

We inspect every chimney from top to base. Our crew looks for creosote buildup that can ignite. We check flues for blockages that cause smoke to back in. Any cracks or loose bricks are tagged before they become a fire risk. Call (888) 295-7280 to book your inspection in Ann Arbor.

Clear scheduling

We offer same-day appointments when possible. Our online calendar lets you pick a time that fits your work schedule. You’ll get a reminder the day before the visit. If weather changes, we’ll reschedule at no extra charge. Quick, clear scheduling keeps your home safe without hassle.

Honest pricing

We give a written estimate before any work starts. Prices cover a full visual inspection, camera scan, and a written report. If heavy creosote removal is needed, we explain the cost line by line. No hidden fees; you only pay for the services you approve. Transparent pricing lets you budget for safe chimney upkeep.

Local professionals

Our technicians live and work in Ann Arbor, so they know local building codes. They’re certified and have years of hands-on chimney work. They spot draft problems and blockages that less-experienced crews miss. Trust comes from being a neighbor you see every day. Local knowledge means faster fixes and fewer callbacks.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we ask you to clear debris and close doors around the hearth. Remove any stored items from the area to give us clear access. This prep lets us see creosote deposits and crack lines without moving heavy furniture later. A clean work zone speeds up the inspection and reduces damage risk. Simple prep saves you time and keeps the job safe.

Follow-through

After inspection we give you a copy of the camera video and a detailed report. We mark any cracked bricks and recommend repair steps before heat is applied. If we find a blocked flue, we’ll schedule a cleanup right away. Our follow-through includes a phone call to confirm you understand the findings. Ongoing maintenance tips keep your chimney firing clean for years.
