“ Carlos was great! He did a great job, going above and beyond the standard cleaning and inspection to fix a leaky chimney cap and remove a slab from the flue. He answered all my many questions thoroughly, giving me a better understanding of how the fireplace works. This is our second year using Potomac Services, and we love the company. We will be calling them yearly. Winter is coming, but we feel prepared! ”

CHIMNEY INSPECTION

We conduct a comprehensive 33-point inspection of the internal and external components of the chimney and fireplace.

Internal Evaluation: Safety concerns often originate internally. We examine internal components to ensure proper sealing, verifying that the entire system is safe for use.

External Inspection: The absorbent nature of brick and concrete necessitates a close look at the chimney's exterior. We inspect external components, ensuring that the cap, crown, mortar joints, and brickwork remain in excellent condition, devoid of water retention.
