Fireplace Investigation

F.I.R.E. (Fireplace Investigation Research and Education) Certification is nationally recognized as high level of competency in determining the condition of all different types and manufacture of fireplaces and their operation. Certification requires class room education and hands on training and then testing before certification is given. Very few professionals involved in the fireplace industry have this certification and Norm is the only F.I.R.E. certified inspector in Kansas or Missouri. If you own or are buying a home which has experienced a chimney fire, Norm can evaluate the condition of the chimney and fireplace system for you or your insurance company. Norm is also a member of the Midwest Chimney Safety Council.
