Understand your chimney
What does an inspection look at?
A chimney is a vertical machine running through the middle of your house. From the fireplace you can see about two feet of it. An inspection covers the rest — follow the path.
Understand your chimney
What does an inspection look at?
A chimney is a vertical machine running through the middle of your house. From the fireplace you can see about two feet of it. An inspection covers the rest — follow the path.
01 — The hearth
Firebox
Where the fire lives. Brick and joints take direct flame every burn — cracks here are the first thing we photograph.
Covered by inspection02 — The turn upward
Smoke chamber & damper
The funnel that steers smoke into the flue. Creosote collects here first, out of sight from the living room.
Cleared by cleaning03 — The vertical run
Flue & liner
The chimney inside your chimney. Cracked tiles and open joints stay invisible until a camera goes up.
Liner service04 — The structure
Masonry
Brick and mortar carry the whole system. Connecticut freeze-thaw works on the joints every winter.
Masonry repair05 — The roofline
Flashing
Layered metal where chimney meets roof — and the most common source of "chimney leaks."
Flashing repair06 — The weather line
Crown & cap
The concrete shoulders and the metal hat. They take the rain, snow, and animals so the flue doesn't.
Crown & cap serviceSeason by season
A chimney has a calendar
Fall — inspect before the first fire
The busiest season. Book the inspection before heavy use starts, while calendars are still open.
Winter — burn season
Seasoned hardwood, a working damper, and attention to smoke smells. Cleaning matters most when the fireplace works hardest.
Spring — check what winter did
Freeze-thaw cycles crack crowns and open mortar joints. Water stains near the chimney usually show up now.
Summer — the repair window
Warm, dry weather is the right time for masonry work, waterproofing, and anything the spring check turned up.
FAQ
Common questions
How often should I have my chimney inspected?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections. Even if you don't use your fireplace often, animals, moisture, and settling can cause issues that go unnoticed without a professional inspection.
How do I book an appointment?
Use the online form: your name, phone, service, and address — a preferred date and arrival window are optional. We call you to confirm your arrival time.
How much does an inspection cost?
The inspection fee is $69, and it's credited toward the service if you proceed with recommended work. Repair pricing depends on what the inspection finds — every repair is scoped in writing before any work begins.
Do you protect the inside of my home during service?
Yes. We lay protective floor coverings, seal the fireplace opening during cleaning, and keep the work area organized. We leave your home as clean as we found it.
What areas of Connecticut do you serve?
We serve communities across Fairfield County, the greater Hartford area, and the Connecticut shoreline — including Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Stamford, West Hartford, Glastonbury, Madison, Guilford, and surrounding towns.
What's included in a chimney inspection?
Our inspections cover the chimney exterior, crown, cap, flashing, accessible flue liner, damper, smoke chamber, and firebox. You receive photos of any findings and a written summary in plain English.
