Build a Chimney Passport for your home
A chimney has a history. Put the appliance, flues, inspections, repairs and current concern on one page before you call a sweep.
The passport helps a new chimney contractor understand the system you have, the work already done and the question you need answered. It is especially useful when a house changes owners, an appliance is replaced, or several contractors quote the same repair. Enter only what you know; a blank field is better than a guess.

Records to bring
Mark the records you have on the left.
This record is supplied by the homeowner and is not a professional inspection or proof that the system is safe to use.
What to keep with the record
Keep inspection reports, flue camera images, invoices, permits, liner specifications, appliance manuals and warranty terms. Record the date and company after each visit. This creates a useful history of deposit buildup and recurring water or draft problems.
What to do next
Take the passport to a chimney sweep company, then use the quote comparison worksheet if repairs are recommended. The inspection guide explains which report to request.
