Common questions
Do you need a permit for chimney cleaning in Aurora?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Aurora. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does chimney cleaning take in Aurora?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Aurora?
Yes. Condo boards in Aurora typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on chimney cleaning in Aurora?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Is chimney cleaning covered by home insurance in Aurora?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
Do you offer same-day chimney cleaning in Aurora?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Aurora for most standard scopes.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
