The Black Magic Process

Every inspection begins with understanding your home's history, fireplace usage, and any concerns you're experiencing. From there, we'll determine the appropriate inspection level and perform a thorough evaluation of your chimney system.

What’s the Difference Between a Free Virtual Assessment and a Formal Chimney Inspection?

A free virtual assessment is a preliminary review based on the photos, videos, and information you provide. It is not a replacement for a formal in-person chimney inspection. Formal inspections may be recommended when:
