The Chimney Swift’s WETT Inspection
Chimney Sweeping
Did you know that today’s modern wood-burning appliances are much more energy efficient than those of 20 years ago and therefore burn less wood for the same heat.

WETT Inspection
What is WETT? What is a WETT inspection? Why do I need a WETT inspection? Having a WETT inspection done before listing a home alerts the homeowner of any potential repairs that may require attention.

Chimney Caps
A chimney cap is a specially designed metal cover that is mounted on top of a chimney or fireplace. A chimney cover is designed to prevent incoming rain water from eating away at the mortar and bricks, as well as prevent birds and small animals from entering the chimney.

Thank you for the great work you folks did yesterday on McElderry Rd, Guelph. As you may recall I have had this work done primarily to meet conditions of sale of this property.
