Chimney Inspection Services — Portland, OR

We use professional tools to verify what’s really happening inside your chimney, including video camera flue scanning, draft testing, and moisture detection. These diagnostics help explain why a chimney isn’t performing correctly—not just that it isn’t.

All inspections are performed by CSIA-certified chimney sweeps and follow NFPA 211 inspection standards, manufacturer specifications, and local Portland safety codes. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured (CCB #49750).

You’ll receive clear documentation, honest recommendations, and transparent estimates with no surprises. Where applicable, we stand behind our work with warranties on workmanship and materials. No pressure. Just straightforward guidance.
