Prospect homeowners, if your chimney hasn’t been swept since last winter’s sleet on Route 69, it’s time to book a licensed sweep. But before you hire, verify three critical items—we’ll show you what to look for and how our white-glove service exceeds the bar.
My Prospect chimney hasn’t been swept in years—why does ‘licensed’ matter more now?
A license isn’t just a piece of paper; it proves your sweep has passed state exams on fire safety codes and local Prospect ordinances. After last winter’s ice dams on Maple Street, many homeowners are calling us to inspect flues that may have shifted or cracked. We’re licensed by the State of Connecticut and carry a $2M liability policy—so if your chimney needs a repair we spot, you’re covered. contact us for a free estimate before booking any sweep.
Why does my Wolcott neighbor’s ‘insured’ claim not match what I’m seeing on paper?
Some companies list insurance but hide exclusions for ‘pre-existing conditions’—like creosote buildup in older Prospect homes near the Naugatuck River. We carry full commercial general liability and workers’ comp, with no fine print. When you ask for proof, we’ll email the full certificate the same day.
