Diagnostic Workflow

Containment Staging

Video Flue Scoping

Rooftop Crown Inspection

Written Safety Report

We lay down protective floor runners and seal the fireplace opening with magnetic barriers before a single brush touches your flue.

High-definition camera monitors display interior tile condition, joint integrity, and creosote buildup directly to you.

We assess exterior masonry, mortar joints, flashing seals, and chimney cap positioning against weather wear.

You receive transparent findings detailing clearances to combustibles, draft performance, and exact repair estimates.
