Technician Miguel G recently performed a full fireplace inspection on Oxford Road in Kenilworth. The homeowner had not used the system in years and wanted a professional evaluation before lighting any fires.

Our inspection covered the flue, firebox, smoke chamber, and damper. Miguel identified mild creosote buildup, minor brick wear, and a rusting throat damper. We provided a full report and suggested optional sweep and repair services. The homeowner appreciated the clear guidance and transparent pricing.
