Fireplace and Chimney Inspection

Fireplaces keep us warm and bring us comfort, but if not well maintained can actually cause us harm, allowing hazardous fumes to enter our homes. Wood burning fireplaces and chimneys should be inspected every year, especially before use during colder months, to ensure that they are safe and clean. With a Fireplace and Chimney Inspection with WIN, we use specialized equipment to ensure your fireplace and chimney are free from hazards.
