Our Services

A good chimney inspection in Potomac Falls, Virginia starts with knowing why you need it. Heavy creosote buildup can turn a cozy fire into a fire-hazard in weeks, while a blocked flue or poor draft forces smoke to back up into your living space. Those problems don’t just make the house uncomfortable—they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and dangerous chimney fires. Our inspections run a flat, clear price and include a full visual check, creosote measurement, flue clearance test, and a look for cracks or loose bricks before they become costly repairs. Scheduling is simple: give us a call, pick a time that works for you, and we’ll be on site to finish the job and give you a written report. The whole process takes about an hour, and you walk away with peace of mind and a safe chimney.

A standard chimney inspection looks at the flue, firebox, and chimney crown. We scrub away loose creosote and look for any blockages that could cause smoke backup. The inspector checks the draft and makes sure the chimney draws properly. We also examine the masonry for cracks or loose bricks that could let heat escape. Any unsafe conditions are noted and we’ll explain what needs fixing.

Pricing is straight-forward and based on the chimney’s size and condition. A basic visual check costs a set fee, while a camera sweep adds a small extra charge. If we find heavy creosote buildup, we’ll quote a cleaning separate from the inspection fee. We never hide costs; you’ll get a written estimate before any work begins. Payment can be made by cash, check, or card on the spot.

You don’t have to stay the whole time, but someone should be home at the start. That way we can get access to the fireplace and any doors that need opening. If you can’t be there, we can meet a trusted neighbor or give you a lock-box code. We’ll finish the inspection and leave a detailed report for you. The report includes photos and any recommendations for repair or cleaning.

An average chimney inspection takes about one to two hours. Small residential chutes are on the shorter end, larger or more complex systems may need a bit longer.

You’ll have the results before we leave.

We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you find a problem we missed within 30 days, we’ll come back and fix it at no extra charge. Our guarantee covers the inspection and any repairs we perform. It does not cover issues unrelated to our service, like homeowner neglect.

Clear the area around the chimney before we arrive. Remove any stored firewood, decorations, or loose items near the flue. Make sure pets are kept away from the work zone.
