Vol. 01 · WETT Inspection & Sweep

“Booked a sweep and WETT inspection before winter. Crew arrived on time, laid down drop cloths, and walked me through the report photo by photo. Fixed pricing, no upsell — exactly what was quoted.”

Vol. 03 · Animal Removal & Cap

“Called for a raccoon in the flue. They removed it humanely, sanitized the smoke chamber, and installed a stainless cap. Fair price, no drama, and they even followed up a week later.”

Essential Enquiries

Frequently asked.

Straight answers on inspections, cleaning cadence, what moves the price, and the guarantees we put in writing.

01

Inspections

WETT · Level 1–3 · Real Estate

Do you provide solid-fuel inspections?+

Yes. We provide detailed inspection paperwork with photos and clear findings. Confirm the exact report your insurer or real-estate lawyer requires before booking.

What's included in a Level 2 inspection?+

A full visual and internal camera scan of the flue, damper, smoke chamber, firebox, and crown — plus documentation of clearances to combustibles, cap condition, and structural integrity. You receive a written report with photos within 24 hours.

Do I need an inspection before buying a home?+

Yes. Standard home inspections do not open the flue or scan the liner. A WETT Level 2 catches cracked liners, creosote glazing, and structural defects that can cost $8,000–$18,000 to remediate. Book it during the conditional period.

How long does an inspection take?+

Level 1 runs 45–60 minutes. Level 2 with camera scan runs 90 minutes. We deliver a written PDF report — never a verbal summary.

02

Cleaning frequency

Wood · Gas · Pellet · Oil

How often should I clean my chimney?+

Wood-burning fireplaces: annually, or after every cord of wood burned. Gas fireplaces: every 2 years plus an annual safety check. Pellet stoves: every 6 months during heavy use. Oil furnaces: annually before the heating season.

What if I only use my fireplace a few times a year?+

Even light use deposits creosote and attracts nesting animals in the off-season. NFPA 211 requires an annual inspection regardless of use — creosote from just a handful of fires can ignite at flue temperatures above 250°C.

How do I know it's time to clean?+

Signs include: smoke backing into the room, a strong campfire smell in humid weather, black flakes on the damper, poor draft, or visible creosote thicker than a business card. Book immediately if you see any of these.

Do gas fireplaces really need servicing?+

Yes. Gas units accumulate soot on logs and burners, and vents can be blocked by debris or animals. Unserviced gas fireplaces are the leading cause of carbon-monoxide incidents in Ontario homes.

03

Pricing factors

What changes the quote

What determines the price of a service?+

Four factors: chimney height and access (single vs. multi-storey, roof pitch), fuel type (wood is dirtier than gas), condition on arrival (creosote grade, animal nests, water damage), and any liner or crown work needed. Every quote is itemised and fixed.

Do you charge for the initial quote?+

Written quotes are free within our GTA service area. On-site diagnostic inspections carry a flat fee that is fully credited toward booked work.

Why are some quotes so much lower?+

Low quotes typically exclude camera scanning, safety documentation, liner integrity checks, or WSIB-covered technicians. Uninsured operators shift liability to you. Our quotes include every step required by NFPA 211 and Ontario Building Code.

Do you offer financing?+

Yes. Repairs and rebuilds over $2,500 qualify for 0% financing over 12 months through our lending partner, with soft credit checks that don't affect your score.

04

Warranty & guarantees

Workmanship · Materials · Insurance

Is your work guaranteed?+

Every service carries our 5-year workmanship warranty. Stainless liners are backed by lifetime manufacturer warranties. Rebuilds carry a 10-year structural guarantee on masonry and crown work.

Are you fully insured and WSIB-covered?+

Yes — $5M commercial liability plus WSIB clearance on every technician. Certificates are provided in writing before work begins. Never let an uninsured operator on your roof.

What happens if something goes wrong after the job?+

One call, no charges. Warranty callbacks are dispatched within 48 hours. If the issue is workmanship-related, we cover parts, labour, and any collateral damage — in writing.

Do you guarantee your quotes?+

Fixed-price, in writing, honoured for 30 days. No hourly billing, no surprise upsells on the driveway. If we miss a defect in the initial scope, the fix is on us.
