Know exactly where your chimney stands — honest findings, clear photos, no scare tactics.
Whether you just bought a home, haven't lit a fire in years, or noticed water stains near the fireplace, a Chimney Works inspection tells you exactly where your chimney stands. We check the whole system, document what we find, and explain it in plain language.
Most expensive chimney problems started as cheap ones: a hairline crown crack that let water in, a rusted chase cover that dripped for two winters, mortar joints that crumbled one freeze-thaw cycle at a time. An annual inspection catches these while they're still minor chimney repairs instead of rebuilds.
If the inspection finds creosote buildup, we can handle the sweep and cleaning too — one visit, one crew, the whole system taken care of.
At least once a year if you use your fireplace, and any time you buy a home, notice water stains near the fireplace, smell smoke where you shouldn't, or haven't lit a fire in years and want to start again safely.
The flue, crown, cap, and masonry outside; the firebox, damper, and hearth inside; and signs of moisture or water intrusion throughout. You get straightforward findings you can understand, with photos.
Yes. A pre-purchase chimney inspection is one of the smartest checks a buyer can order in the Olive Branch area — chimney repairs can be significant, and a standard home inspection often only looks at what's visible from the ground.
