Our Services

A good chimney inspection in Franklin, New Jersey starts with knowing why it matters – creosote buildup, blocked flues, and poor draft can turn a cozy fire into a house fire hazard. When the draft is weak, smoke backs up into the living room, breathing in soot and carbon monoxide, which is why a thorough check-up is essential for safety. Our inspectors look for cracks, loose bricks, and signs of rust, then clean the flue and measure draft to make sure the chimney works like it should. We give you a clear, upfront price before any work begins, so there are no surprise costs. Scheduling is simple: call (888) 295-7280 and pick a time that fits your calendar, and we’ll be on site, explain what we’re doing, and leave you with a safe, efficient chimney.

Reliable chimney inspection

We check every inch of the flue for creosote buildup and cracks. Our crew looks for blocked passages that can cause smoke to back up. We test the draft to make sure the chimney pulls properly. Any loose bricks are tagged before they become fire hazards. In Franklin we know the local wood types that create tough deposits.
