Clearwater Chimney Group: Chimney Repair and Sweeping

Yes. The inspection of the chimney or fireplace costs nothing. You get a written finding covering the crown, flue and firebox with a price for any work, and booking is never required. If you book any service within 72 hours of that inspection, 10% comes off the written price.

Our crew works on homes inside the City of Clearwater, from the office on Calumet St. We do not take jobs outside the city. If a crown, cap or flashing repair we made needs a second look, the same crew comes back to check it.

Yes, when the schedule has an open slot that day. Typical same-day jobs are a stuck damper, a gas fireplace that will not light or a missing cap letting rain into the flue. Send the request form early in the day, then the office tells you the first open slot.

Then the visit ends with a short written note. It says what was checked, such as the firebox, damper, flue and crown, and that no repair is needed. Nobody sells you work the chimney does not need, and the free inspection stays free.

Yes. Repair work by our crew is backed by a workmanship warranty, and the written estimate says what the finished job includes. Ask during the inspection how to look after a new crown, cap or flashing so the repair keeps doing its job through the rainy months.

For a wood fireplace with a smoke smell, soot fall or water in the firebox, wait until after the inspection before lighting it. A gas fireplace that smells of gas is different: get out of the house first, then phone the gas company or 911 from the yard, and book the visit after that.
