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. 02 · Stainless Liner Installation
“Cracked clay liner in our 1962 fireplace. They installed a stainless liner and new cap in one day and the draft is perfect. Warranty paperwork emailed the same evening.”
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.”
Vol. 04 · Masonry Tuckpointing
“Tuckpointing on a 90-year-old chimney. The mortar colour match is genuinely impressive — you can't tell where the new work starts. Careful, tidy crew.”
Vol. 05 · Chimney Rebuild
“Full rebuild above the roofline after storm damage. Insurance-approved quote, permits handled, and finished in four days. Ten-year structural warranty in writing.”
Vol. 06 · Gas Fireplace Service
“Annual gas fireplace service and CO check. Tech spent 90 minutes doing it properly — cleaned burners, tested for leaks, calibrated the pilot. First time in years the flame looks right.”

WETT · Level 1–3 · Real Estate
Yes. Our inspectors carry current SITE-Basic and SITE-Comprehensive WETT credentials, plus CSIA certification. Every report is signed, stamped, and accepted by Ontario insurers and real-estate lawyers.
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.
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.
Level 1 runs 45–60 minutes. Level 2 with camera scan runs 90 minutes. We deliver a written PDF report — never a verbal summary.
Wood · Gas · Pellet · Oil
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.
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.
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.
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.
What changes the quote
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.
Written quotes are free within our GTA service area. On-site diagnostic inspections carry a flat fee that is fully credited toward booked work.
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.
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.
Workmanship · Materials · Insurance
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.
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.
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.
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.
