About This Service
Distinguish Ash From Passage Deposits
Ash at the hearth is not the whole cleaning job. The passage and collection areas may contain deposits that need different access. We discuss the agreed scope rather than treat a tidy opening as evidence that the connected chimney has received maintenance.
Do Not Diagnose an Obstruction by Sound
Loose debris, an animal concern and damaged components can obstruct a passage for different reasons. Tell us what you have noticed without trying to clear it yourself. We assess the situation before treating a blocked chimney as a routine brushing task.
A Clear Handover After Sweeping
The closing conversation should identify the areas serviced, relevant findings and any additional recommendation. Ask about anything unclear before planning the next use. Keep the maintenance record clear about the serviced areas and any separate assessment still needed.
Mention Covered Cleanout Access
A cleanout or other service opening may be obstructed by storage or later finish work. Tell Twin about any access point already known to you. The cleaning plan can address that limitation without requiring the homeowner to remove a cover, dismantle cabinetry or create an opening before the assessment.
