Inspection evaluates and documents condition within an agreed scope; cleaning removes accessible deposits and debris. You may need both. Tell the professional why you are calling and ask what the visit includes.

Your home in Missouri.
A fireplace that drafts poorly, lets in cold air, or leaves soot on its face is pointing at the flue, damper, or cap. Missouri Chimney Pros inspects the whole system, then plans cleaning, cap, and damper or liner work in one written scope.
Before accepting a bundle
Ask for the inspection scope, cleaning areas, report format, and exclusions to be written separately so you can compare proposals.
