Good chimney care starts with the actual condition. A photograph can help explain a concern, but it cannot establish everything happening inside a flue or behind flashing.
Share your city, the type of fireplace, and when you first noticed the issue. A water stain after rain, loose mortar, or an unfamiliar odor gives us a starting point. Keep any earlier inspection reports available.
The appropriate visit depends on your system, access, and the concern. Inspection, cleaning, and repair serve different purposes. We discuss the scope so you can understand which area needs attention and what remains to be checked.
Ask what is included, how the work relates to the finding, and what finish to expect. Timing and price depend on the project. Your appointment is arranged directly with Tier1 after the details are reviewed.
