Chimney Inspections
Camera-assisted inspections of the flue, liner, crown and firebox, with a clear written summary.
Chimney inspection, cleaning and repair for Palo Alto homes.
A well-kept chimney protects your family and your home from fire, smoke and water damage. We inspect first, explain clearly, and recommend only the work your chimney needs.
Smoke, soot and moisture take a toll on every chimney. Left alone, creosote builds up, liners crack and water gets into the masonry.
Orton Chimney Corp serves homeowners in Palo Alto and nearby communities. We tell you what we see, show you the options, and do the job carefully.

Camera-assisted inspections of the flue, liner, crown and firebox, with a clear written summary.
Careful removal of soot and creosote that restrict draft and raise fire risk.
