Comprehensive Fireplace Maintenance in Thompson's Station, TN

A full visual check of the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, flue, liner, crown, cap, and exterior masonry, plus a roof-side look where it's safe — exactly the $89 inspection. We flag anything that needs cleaning or repair before the fire, and the fee credits toward that work.

A standard Level 1 inspection ($89) is the right starting point for first use after a long disuse period. Level 2 is specifically for property transfers and post-event situations (chimney fire, earthquake, lightning), not routine first-use.

Yes. Re-clean rescue is a recurring pattern: a prior company swept fast, skipped the smoke chamber, and left the dangerous part of the flue untouched. We re-inspect with a camera, document with photos, re-sweep with HEPA-contained equipment, and give you an itemized scope and before/after media.

Yes. Bring the other estimate or describe the scope and the $89 inspection gets you our independent assessment. If we can do the same work for less we'll quote it; if their price is fair, we'll tell you that too. Sticker shock on liner replacements and full rebuilds is the most common reason for these calls.

It can be a serious one. Smoke-chamber creosote is one of the biggest hidden risks and a spot fast crews skip. We inspect it with a camera and clean it as part of a proper sweep — it's exactly where we find surprises on rescue jobs.

Documentation. We provide before/after photos at the firebox and cap level and, on request, a full in-flue camera pass you can keep. You get an itemized scope listing each part of the system we touched.
