Project description
Our house has a brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove that haven't been serviced in a couple of years, and before the cold season sets in we want everything checked and cleaned properly. We are looking for an experienced chimney sweep who can come to the property, assess the current condition of the flue and chimney liner, remove soot and creosote buildup, and confirm that there are no cracks, blockages, or draft problems that could turn into a fire or carbon monoxide hazard.
Besides the cleaning itself, we would like a full inspection report describing the state of the masonry, the cap, the damper, and the connection points, along with clear recommendations if any repairs or part replacements are needed. Flexibility with scheduling is important since we need this done on a weekday morning, and we would appreciate someone who explains the process and shows before and after photos or video of the flue interior.
Please reach out with your experience, certifications if any, the tools you use for inspection such as a camera scope, brushes, and a vacuum system, and an estimate of how long the job typically takes. We prefer someone who protects the surrounding floor and furniture with drop cloths and cleans up thoroughly afterward.
Requirements:
— Proven experience with residential chimney cleaning and inspection
— Own tools and dust and soot containment equipment
— Written report with photos after the inspection
— Available for a morning appointment on a weekday
