How the price works
We quote after we know the property, because the honest number depends on the size of the system and the access. The technician confirms the price with you before starting. If they find something outside what you agreed, the job stops and you decide — nothing appears on an invoice you have not approved.

Understanding which stage is in your flue explains why one chimney costs $180 to clean and another costs ten times that.
