See Your Chimney Like Never Before
Free Drone Chimney Inspections — No Ladders, No Guesswork
Most chimney damage starts where nobody can see it: the crown, the cap, the flashing and the top courses of brick. Instead of guessing from the ground, we fly a high-resolution 4K camera drone around the outside of your chimney and roofline — the same drone that filmed the video at the top of this page.
You see exactly what we see: crisp, close-up aerial photos of what's sound and what's failing. Honest proof, not scare tactics — and because the drone does the climbing, there are no ladders against your gutters and no foot traffic on your shingles.

Common Questions
Chimney & Masonry Questions, Answered
Straight answers to what Memphis homeowners ask us most. See our full FAQ for much more.
Industry safety standards (NFPA 211) and the Chimney Safety Institute of America recommend a professional chimney inspection once every year, regardless of how often you use your fireplace. Annual inspections catch creosote buildup, cracks, leaks and blockages before they become fire or carbon-monoxide hazards.
Common warning signs include white staining (efflorescence) on the brick, crumbling or missing mortar, a damaged or leaning crown, rust on the damper or firebox, a musty or smoky smell, water in the firebox, and spalling brick where the face is flaking off. If you notice any of these, it's worth a professional look before the damage spreads.
Tuckpointing (also called repointing) is the process of grinding out old, deteriorated mortar joints and filling them with fresh, color-matched mortar. Mortar is the weakest part of any brick structure and typically needs attention every 25–30 years. Repointing at the right time restores strength, keeps water out, and is far cheaper than a full rebuild later.
Yes. We fly a 4K camera drone around the outside of your chimney to capture close-up photos of the crown, cap, flashing and upper brickwork — the areas that fail first and are hardest to evaluate safely from the ground. No ladders against your gutters, no foot traffic on your roof, and you get to see the photos yourself. The exterior drone check is included free with your estimate.
Yes. Madewell Masonry and Chimney Service is a licensed and insured, family-owned company based right here in Memphis, established in 1982. Every job is backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
