Our Services

A chimney inspection in North Portland starts with a thorough look inside the flue to catch creosote buildup before it turns into a fire hazard. We check for blocked passages, cracked liners, and any loose bricks that could let smoke back into your home. Poor draft gets tested by lighting a small fire and watching how quickly the smoke clears, so you know the system is pulling properly. The whole job usually takes an hour, costs a clear flat rate, and includes a written report of any repairs needed. Call (888) 295-7280 to schedule a straightforward appointment and keep your family safe.

Reliable chimney inspection

We check every part of your chimney for creosote buildup, cracks, and loose bricks. Our inspectors watch for blocked flues that can cause smoke to back into the house. We test draft to make sure smoke moves up, not down. Any sign of a crack is noted before it becomes a fire risk. The report includes clear steps to fix the issues.
