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.

Thousands of satisfied Customers , Here's What Some Have To Say?
Thank you for your work at the church. I called three chimney contractors. You were the only one who returned a call even though you were quite busy. Thank you for doing the work one month ahead of schedule. It was very much appreciated by all the congregation.
Yours truly,
Hi John,
Thanks for your advice re: the firebricks for my Pacific Energy Super insert.
I called Pacific customer service and they said that the clay firebricks were fine.
Thanks again.
Can’t say enough about this company. I recently bought a home with a wood burning fireplace and needed it cleaned. I did my research and decided to go with the Chimney Swift.
Highly experienced and very personable. John Explained what he was going to do told me roughly how long it would take .
Very clean and professional. When I booked the appointment with Louise she was friendly and honest and told me that I had to wait a bit for the cleaning. It was worth the wait. Good things are worth waiting for. Glad I did. Fist time costumer , future client .
Btw I am a certified brick/stone mason for the last 32 years. And John has been swifting chimneys for about the same time.
Experience shows and it is a great asset to have knowing I can trust him with my wood burner.
