Why Schedule a Free virtual Assessment?
Many Homeowners Notice Signs That Something Isn't Quite Right—But Aren't Sure What They Mean.
Not sure if your chimney needs attention—or what type of service might be right for you? A free virtual assessment gives you an opportunity to connect with experienced professionals, share what you’re seeing, and get a better understanding of potential next steps.
Whether you’re experiencing leaks, odors, draft issues, visible deterioration, or simply want peace of mind, our team can help point you in the right direction.

Is A Free Assessment Right For You?
You Notice Water Leaks
Water stains, dampness, or moisture around your fireplace may indicate chimney damage or water intrusion.
Your Fireplace Isn't Performing Properly
Smoke entering the home, poor draft, or unusual odors can signal underlying chimney issues.
You've Spotted Visible Damage
Cracked mortar, damaged bricks, deteriorating crowns, or leaning structures should be evaluated before they worsen.
You're Unsure Where to Start
If you know something feels off but don't know what service you need, a free assessment is a great first step.
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.
Tell Us About Your Concerns
Share any issues you've noticed, questions you have, or goals for your chimney and fireplace.
Share Photos & Video
We’ll let you know what images or video will be most helpful for our team to review your chimney and fireplace.
Receive Clear Next Steps
Our team will review what you provide and discuss potential concerns, recommendations, or whether an in-person inspection is needed.
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:
Purchasing or selling a home
Investigating safety concerns
Evaluating hidden damage
Meeting insurance or real estate requirements
Following a chimney fire or severe weather event
If our team determines that an in-person inspection is appropriate, we’ll explain why and help you determine the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
We believe homeowners deserve clear information—not pressure. That's why every assessment is focused on helping you understand your options and make informed decisions about your home.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. Our free virtual chimney assessment is designed to help homeowners better understand visible concerns and determine whether additional services may be beneficial.
What's the difference between an assessment and an inspection?
A free assessment provides an initial evaluation and recommendations based on visible conditions. A chimney inspection is a more comprehensive service that follows industry standards and may be required for safety evaluations, real estate transactions, or diagnostic purposes.

Not at all. Many homeowners contact us because they know something doesn't seem right but aren't sure what the issue is. We'll help determine the appropriate next steps.
