Gene Padgitt is our Missouri State Certified Fire Investigator (#99-122).  He accumulates at least 40 hours of training through the State Fire Marshall's office every three years in order to maintain this Certification.  

Gene is also a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep
NFI Certified Woodburning Specialist
NFI Certified Gas Specialist
Licensed Mechanical Contractor

ALL of which require re-certification every 1-3 years

The knowledge Gene has gained by being a CFI, in addition to his other training and 22 years experience in the chimney industry, makes it possible for us to do detailed cause and origin analysis of chimney-related house fires.  For this reason, Gene is often called upon by Forensics investigators and Insurance companies to do investigations and expert witness services in this area.  

We specialize in chimneys and nearby structures only.  

Please call 816-461-3665 for current rates or further information.
