Our Services

Chimney inspection in Ferndale, Maryland is a must for any homeowner who uses a wood-burning fireplace or stove. A thorough check looks for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a house fire, and spots blocked flues that keep smoke from escaping. Inspectors also test draft to make sure smoke is pulled up, not back into your living space, and they examine bricks and mortar for cracks or loose sections before they become hazards. You’ll get a clear, flat-rate price and a simple schedule—just call (888) 295-7280 to set an appointment. The job usually takes a couple of hours and ends with a written report and any recommendations for cleaning or repairs.
