Is Your Chimney Safe? Find Out for $69

“Our home inspector said the chimney 'looked fine' during closing. We called Franklin for a second opinion and they found a cracked flue tile on the Level 2 camera inspection. That crack would've leaked carbon monoxide directly into our bedroom wall. Terrifying to think about.”

“Annual inspection — they do mine every October. This year they caught a failing mortar joint I never would've noticed from the ground. Fixed it on the spot for under $200. That's exactly why I keep coming back.”

“Needed a chimney certification letter for our condo association before we could use the fireplace. Franklin did the full Level 2 inspection with camera and had the letter emailed to our HOA the next morning. Smooth process.”

“First house, first chimney, zero clue what I was looking at. The tech explained everything without making me feel dumb. Turns out the flue was in decent shape but the cap was missing entirely — birds had been getting in for years. Glad I got it checked before lighting anything.”

“I'm 78 and live alone. I wanted to make sure the chimney was safe before winter. The young man who came was patient, respectful, and showed me the photos on his phone. Everything was fine — he said so honestly and didn't try to sell me anything. That meant a lot.”

“We're flipping a twin in Point Breeze and needed the chimney report for the buyer's lender. Franklin got us the full inspection and written report in 48 hours. Professional enough to satisfy an underwriter. We'll use them on every project going forward.”

“There was a weird smell coming from the fireplace we couldn't figure out. Turned out a bunch of wet leaves and some animal debris had piled up on the smoke shelf. They cleaned it all out during the inspection. $69 well spent — the smell was gone by that evening.”

“Third year in a row using Franklin for my annual. They keep records from previous visits so they can compare condition year to year. That level of attention is rare. My chimney is 90 years old and still going strong because of these guys.”

“They showed me video footage from inside my chimney — I could see the cracks they were talking about. No pressure, just facts. The repair was done in one day and they cleaned up everything. First contractor I've ever tipped.”

“We bought a 1920s twin in Fishtown and needed a full chimney evaluation before closing. They gave us a detailed report with photos that our inspector could use. Saved us from a $12,000 surprise. Can't recommend enough.”

“I'm a realtor and I send every buyer to Franklin Chimney before closing. They've saved three of my clients from nasty surprises this year alone. Reports are professional, turnaround is fast, and they don't upsell people into work they don't need. That last part matters.”

“Been putting off getting the chimney looked at for probably five years. Finally called and they were here two days later. Good news — everything was structurally sound. They cleaned some debris off the smoke shelf and told me I was good to go. Refreshing to deal with an honest company.”
