Chimney sweeps & duct cleaning
Book the inspection, explain the findings plainly, and remind them next year.
Most customers call once a year, often just before the first cold night, and many have no idea what level of inspection they need. We make it easy to book the right visit, share photos and findings in plain English, and send the annual reminder, while your crews, roof access and the fall rush stay organized.
What we set up
The right visit, booked in minutes
Customers say what they have, such as a wood fireplace, gas insert, stove or ducts, and whether it is for routine care, a problem or a home sale. The site offers a sample inspection or cleaning visit and tells them that repairs, relining and cap or crown work are quoted after the inspection.
Reports with photos and plain findings
Each visit saves the inspection level, photos or scope video, and findings written in plain language, such as buildup, damage or a condition that needs attention. Safety concerns are flagged for the owner to explain, and the customer gets one report they can keep or share with a buyer.
Reminders, crews and the fall rush
Annual-service reminders go out by each customer's last service date. Crew schedules account for roof access, ladder needs and weather, and the late summer and fall rush is handled with a waitlist and clear windows.
Where this business gets hard
Everyone calls at once
The first cold snap sends a flood of calls in late summer and fall, and the schedule fills for weeks. A booking page with clear windows, a waitlist and early reminders to past customers smooth the rush.
Explaining a bad finding
Customers hear words like creosote or flue damage and either panic or ignore them. A plain-language report with photos, written by the owner, helps the customer understand what was seen and what to do next, with repairs quoted separately.
Which inspection level
Customers do not know what level they need, and a home sale or a changed appliance can call for more than a routine look. A short intake that captures the reason for the visit helps the team set the right one.
Roof access and weather
Rain, wind and steep roofs change who can go where, and a rainout wastes a crew day. Roof notes at booking and a rescheduling process keep the day full.
Set up for the way you work
Not every chimney sweeps & duct cleaning business runs the same way. We adjust the setup to fit yours.
- Residential sweeps and inspections
- Many one-hour visits, often yearly. Booking windows, photos and annual reminders matter most.
- Repair, relining and masonry
- Fewer, larger jobs quoted after inspection, with cap, crown, liner and flashing work. Written estimates, photos and scheduling around weather drive the setup.
- Air duct and dryer vent cleaning
- Quotes by number of vents and system size, with before and after photos. Recurring plans for rental properties are common.
- Real-estate inspection focus
- Work booked by agents and buyers against a closing date. Fast scheduling, a shareable report and clear notes on what the inspection did and did not cover matter most.
Busy seasons and slow ones
Late summer and fall are the rush, when customers get ready for the first fires, and the schedule can be full weeks ahead. Winter brings emergency calls about smoke or drafts, while spring and summer are slower. Slow months are a good time to send annual reminders, offer duct cleaning and book repair work that was quoted in the fall.
What your customers ask before they book
Your AI assistant and website are set up to answer these before anyone has to call.
- How much is a sweep, and how is an inspection different?
- What level of inspection do I need for a home sale?
- How long does the visit take, and do I need to be home?
- Do you clean gas inserts and wood stoves too?
- How do I know when it needs cleaning again?
- If you find a problem, what happens next?
Common mistakes we help you avoid
- Writing a report without photos, then having nothing to show when a customer questions a finding.
- Letting annual reminders live in a notebook so past customers drift to the next company.
- Quoting repairs by phone before an inspection, then finding a bigger problem on the roof.
- Making certification or code claims on the website without checking what the state actually requires.
Rules and credentials vary by state
Rules on inspections, sweep and duct credentials, fire and building codes and real-estate disclosure differ by state and local area. We build the workflow around the rules and credentials you tell us apply to you, and we make no certification claims for your business. The AI assistant never diagnoses a safety condition or gives legal advice. You stay responsible for compliance and for what your reports say.
