Regardless of how often you use your chimney, annually assessing its structure and integrity is imperative. This once a year inspection isn't just our personal and professional recommendation. According to The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211, Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary. Still, even with these best practices, thousands of people die in preventable fires and billions of dollars in home losses are sustained.

When it comes to creating a sense of warmth and comfort, nothing compares to a fireplace. Whether in a new master suite, a family room addition, or a living room remodel, a fireplace is sure to become the epicenter of your family gatherings. While every set up is different, many older homes have traditional masonry wood-burning fireplaces that are wonderful to look at, whether dormant with logs stacked neatly inside, or alive with a crackling fire. But no matter how beautiful it is, one can never get complacent about owning and operating a fireplace.

Left uncorrected chimney damage can contribute to house fires that lead to property damage, serious injury or worse. From carbon monoxide leaks and black mold growth to smoke damage in the home, all the way up to total chimney collapse, any damage to your chimney is a serious issue. Whether your chimney has been damaged by heavy rains, serious seasonal storms or direct impact, our team of qualified chimney inspection professionals can quickly and easily assess the problem and make sure your chimney is immediately repaired.

For their tiny size, rats are shockingly destructive once they are in your home. Given enough time, they can chew through drywall, insulation, electrical wiring, and plastic piping, doing thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the process. They steal food from your cupboards and are more than capable of destroying personal property (paper, linens, and even bedding) in their efforts to make nests. They're prolific breeders, which means that just a few rats "squatting" in your home might turn into an overwhelming infestation.

Though squirrels and humans usually manage to coexist in harmony, trouble arises when the squirrels decide to move into your home or business. Crawlspaces, basements, sheds, barns, and attics are appealing to squirrels because they offer shelter from the elements, protection from predators, and ample space to store food. And squirrels don't need much in the way of an entry point; a 1.5-inch hole in your home's roof or exterior walls-easily accessible by climbing or leaping-is usually large enough to suit their purposes.

In urban areas, wildlife such as opossums, rats, squirrels, and raccoons love to set up shop inside private residences until they are trapped and removed. It's not difficult to see why: human homes tend to offer shelter, privacy, and sometimes even air conditioning. What more could a woodland critter ask for? Unfortunately, the daily activities of your new "roommates" (nesting, roaming, gathering food, etc.) can be aggravating, destructive, and even hazardous to your health. If you notice any evidence of furry or feathery squatters on your property, then give us a call as soon as possible.

If the mere thought of handling and removing a skunk is enough to make you anxious, you're certainly not alone. Skunks are so notorious for their noxious fumes that even bears have been known to back off when they see those tell-tale black and white markings! Skunks can (accurately) spray their musk up to 10 feet, so people who try to stay as far away from these critters as possible are wise to do so. Unfortunately, skunks love to burrow and make tunnels, so it's not uncommon for them to "set up shop" underneath human houses, sheds, or patio decks.
