Chimney Sweep booking
agent. Meet Maria.

Not an answering service. Maria answers your chimney sweep line while you’re up on a roof at the flue — annual cleaning / inspection before burning season, animals nesting in the chimney (birds, squirrels, raccoons) + odor, or the chimney job that’s that's a real ticket — in your company’s name, 24/7, and books it.

Chimney Sweep answering — the index

Does Maria understand chimney sweep calls?

She knows Level 1 / Level 2 / Level 3 inspection, third-degree creosote / glazed creosote, spalling, a Rotary chimney cleaning system (powered) — Soot Eater / SnapLock / Schmidt, and what SaverSystems (ChimneySaver, CrownCoat, Water Repellent) means — the right questions for their chimney swept and a new liner, not a caller re-explaining their own job.

An after-hours chimney job?

Annual cleaning / inspection before burning season can’t wait. She answers 24/7 as your company, books or messages it, and warm-transfers a real emergency to your cell.

How do I hear about the calls?

Email — summary and full transcript — the second it ends. Calendar booking on both plans. And she texts your customers their appointment confirmations and reminders automatically.
