Before the first fire of the cool season, a quick check of the chimney and fireplace saves trouble later. Wagner lies within Winter Springs in Seminole County, and our family-owned team can look over your chimney and fireplace before you need them. The inspection is free, and a written price comes with any cleaning or repair we recommend.

National fire safety guidance recommends having chimneys, fireplaces and vents inspected by a professional once a year and cleaned when needed. A fireplace that sits unused between seasons can collect debris, nesting and rust without anyone noticing. A check before the first fire catches those problems while there is still time to fix them.

On the visit we look at the firebox, the damper, the flue and the chimney outside as far as it can be reached safely, and for a gas unit we check the burner, the logs and the glass. We tell you whether the fireplace is ready, needs cleaning or needs a repair before it is used.

If it is ready, you will hear that, and nothing else will be sold to you. A few habits help at home. Burn only dry, seasoned wood, keep the hearth clear and make sure your smoke alarms work. Have the screen or glass doors in place before the first fire. For a gas fireplace, keep the manual where you can find it.

Booking ahead gives you more choice of dates, and same-day service is available when the schedule and the work allow. If the fireplace burns gas, the pre-season visit covers different parts, such as the burner and log placement, the glass and gasket, the vent cap outside and the controls. Fresh batteries in the remote or receiver before the first cool night save a service call too.
