"I recently hired Omar, Christ, and Julio for a chimney cleaning and inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. They arrived right on schedule, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was safe and in great condition. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and very respectful of my home. I highly recommend them to anyone needing chimney work!"

"I contacted John as I have a fair amount of water coming in my basement. He promptly came out for a visual inspection and set up a time to do a physical inspection while he was with us. His team worked quickly and efficiently. Once they dug down to the bottom of the foundation, John was able to explain the issues at hand to me and work within my budget to get the job done to the best of their ability. His team worked quickly and cleaned up their site better than it was when they found it."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Common issues discovered during a chimney inspection or cleaning include creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration or masonry degradation, and obstructions such as blocked flues or animal nests. These issues are potential safety hazards that can lead to combustion problems or poor air quality if not addressed.

Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible. 

In most cases, yes, you will need to be home while your roof inspector checks your roof. The inspector will be able to complete the exterior assessment without input from you, but they will also need access to your attic space to look for signs of leaking, like pest infestation, water stains, mold growth, and visible holes leading to the exterior. They will also check the roof trusses, rafters, and supports to confirm their structural integrity. Roof inspections usually take between two and three hours, so plan accordingly.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

Yes, because it prevents water damage, deters pests from accessing the roof decking, protects the roof from wind damage, and lengthens the roof's life. Plus, building codes require it.
