Our Services

Chimney inspection in University Park, PA is a must-do for any homeowner who relies on a fireplace for heat or ambiance. A thorough check spots creosote buildup, which can turn a chimney into a ticking time bomb if left unchecked. We also look for blocked flues, poor draft and smoke that backs into the house—signs that the system isn’t pulling air properly. Our techs point out cracked or loose bricks before they become fire hazards, and they explain the safety risks in plain language. Pricing is transparent, with a flat rate that covers camera video, soot removal assessment and a written report. Scheduling is simple: just call (888) 295-7280 and pick a time that fits your calendar. The job typically involves a visual walk-through, a camera scan of the interior, a creosote level test, and a final walk-through to show you what needs fixing.
