About
ChimSpect was born out of a quest to standardize the way all of my technicians were completing and documenting level 1 and level II chimney inspections. My quest started several years ago. I tried every system I found on the market and all were lacking the flexibility, speed and accuracy that I needed.
1. I needed to prove we are providing the standard level of care required by our trade since the year 2000.
2. I needed a way to keep all my technicians accountable.
3. Narrative style reports dramatically increase sales! So I needed a way for all of my crews to quickly create these reports
4. I was involved in a property damage loss. If I had better documented what went on at the home during our work, I would have not had any liability in this claim.
In October of 2017 I approached my brother, Bill, who has over 40 years experience in the software industry. Together we formed ChimSpect. The abilities of this system has surpassed my expectations and continues to get better! My brother’s company will always keep the app and software current with technology. My job is to make sure it always meets the needs of our industry!
Our software launched September of 2018. Since that time it has been used by hundreds of chimney technicians and has been used to inspect over 70,000 Chimneys!Join the ranks of the successful elite group of sweeps prospering their buisness by generating professional chimney inspection reports with ChimSpect! ChimSpect is the first and best app of its kind!

Testimonials
The report from ChimSpect Software provided the most professional report I have ever seen come out of this industry
Genevieve: Independent Fire Claims Inspector/Adjuster
I can’t tell you how in love we are with the software. this has already made my guy twice the inspector he was before if that was possible. He doesn’t miss anything ever. Brilliant.
-Michael C.
I've been very happy with your software. I like how I can add my own pre-written narrative in each section. I also like that it's still affordable for the single person companies like mine.
Matthew B.
With Chimspect Software our repair jobs have gone from usually under $5,000, to frequently over $15,000 or even higher! We have been able to hire more techs, pay them better, offer more benefits and raise our personal income significantly! What a wonderful blessing!"
Becky F.
By using the software daily, our techs are highly educated, and their confidence has grown tremendously! It is their confidence in explaining to the customers why their chimney is unsafe that sells the jobs. Our customers are more educated in fireplace & chimney safety & their homes are safer – possibly saving lives!!
Beck F.
ChimSpect is a great tool for anyone in the hearth and chimney business. Great customer service, affordable and very clean crisp product. Great for NFPA level 2 inspection reports!

Safety
Why is a thorough inspection of the chimney so important? When your home was built there should have been a series of inspections by a building inspector. The building inspector is expected to know all the building codes in every area of construction including but not limited to; footers and foundations, concrete floors, drainage, AC electrical, low voltage electrical, structural design and integrity, insulation, plumbing, masonry, siding, roofing, and the lists go on and on. How did the building inspector become a building inspector? Is he an expert in all of these trades? Most likely he or she was not. Did you know that most if not all states have a law protecting building inspectors from being held liable for missing safety issues or missing details when inspecting construction projects? Why? Because inspectors do miss things! Building inspectors have a tough job; there are ten’s of thousands of lines of building codes. They cannot be expected to find every flaw in the construction of your home.
What about your mason? He should be an expert in building chimneys, right? Sadly, that is not always the case. Most masons did not go to school to learn their trade. Most masons start out as a laborer for a mason and then learn by watching and then by doing. So, the craft is passed on. But just because a mason can lay a brick, does not mean he knows all the codes and safety standards when constructing a fireplace and chimney. Many chimneys and fireplaces are built incorrectly with dangerous design flaws that could endanger lives and personal property.
