A Day in the Life of a Chimney Bear Technician
At Chimney Bear, we’re not just cleaning chimneys—we’re redefining chimney care with expert service, professionalism, and a commitment to safety. Our technicians are the backbone of our company, dedicated to making homes safer, warmer, and more energy-efficient. Whether inspecting a chimney for hidden dangers, performing a thorough sweep, or educating homeowners on best practices, our team takes pride in delivering top-quality service with a smile.
Curious about what it’s like to be a Chimney Bear technician? Let’s walk through a typical day, from the early morning prep to the last completed job of the day.
Morning Kickoff – Preparing for the Day
The day begins early for our Chimney Bear technicians. By 7:00 AM, our team is already at the shop, reviewing the day’s schedule and ensuring all necessary tools and equipment are loaded into our service vans.
Team Huddle & Safety Briefing—A quick team meeting is held every morning to review the jobs scheduled for the day. We discuss safety precautions, customer notes, and any unique challenges that may arise. Safety is our top priority, so we ensure everyone is prepared for the tasks ahead.
Checking Tools & Equipment – Each technician ensures their van is stocked with everything needed, including HEPA vacuums, rotary brushes, camera inspection systems, and protective gear. A well-prepared technician is a successful technician!
First Stop—Customer Communication—We confirm our first appointment with a quick courtesy text to let the homeowner know we’re on our way before heading out. This reinforces our commitment to professionalism and customer service.
First Appointment – Chimney Inspection & Cleaning
Our technicians arrive at their first customer’s home by 7:30 a.m. One of our most common services is a standard chimney inspection and cleaning, ensuring fireplaces and venting systems are safe.
Step 1: Customer Greeting & Walkthrough
Upon arrival, we introduce ourselves, discuss the homeowner's concerns, and explain the inspection and sweep process. Transparency is key!
We place protective coverings around the work area to keep homes clean and mess-free while we work.
Step 2: Chimney Inspection
Using our state-of-the-art camera inspection system, we conduct a thorough Level 2 chimney inspection to check for the following:
Creosote buildup
Cracked or deteriorating flue liners
Obstructions such as bird nests or debris
Structural damage that could pose safety risks
Educating the homeowner is a big part of our job—we always explain what we find and why it matters.
Step 3: Chimney Sweeping
After the inspection, it’s time to clean the chimney. Using professional-grade rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums, we safely remove creosote and soot without leaving a mess behind. Our goal is to improve the chimney’s efficiency while reducing fire hazards.
Fun Fact: Regular chimney sweeping prevents fires and enhances heating efficiency, helping homeowners save on energy costs!
Before leaving, we discussed our findings with the customer and provided maintenance tips to keep their fireplace in excellent condition.
Midday – Tackling Chimney Repairs & Installations
Our team usually has more complex jobs by midday, such as chimney repairs, masonry restoration, or installing a new chimney liner. These projects require skill, precision, and teamwork.
Typical Repair Jobs Include:
Tuckpointing & Masonry Repair – Fixing deteriorating mortar joints to maintain the chimney’s structural integrity.
Chimney Cap Installation – Preventing water damage, debris buildup, and animal intrusion.
Flue Liner Replacement – Enhancing venting efficiency and extending the chimney's life.
Waterproofing & Leak Repairs – Seal cracks and apply a waterproof barrier to protect against weather damage.
Lunch Break – A Moment to Recharge
By 12:30 p.m., it’s time for a quick break.
Afternoon Appointments – Problem-Solving & Customer Education
The afternoon is often spent troubleshooting complex chimney issues, performing dryer vent cleanings, or conducting follow-up inspections on previous repair jobs.
A Typical Afternoon Job – Diagnosing Draft Issues
One of the most common issues we address is poor fireplace drafting, where smoke enters the home instead of venting correctly. Our expertise helps homeowners find the right solutions, whether installing a chimney cap, adjusting the flue, or recommending a more efficient fireplace insert.
Customer Education – A Core Part of Our Job
At Chimney Bear, we believe an informed homeowner is safer. Whether explaining proper firewood selection, the importance of annual inspections, or how to maintain a chimney cap, our technicians take the time to educate customers on best practices.
Wrapping Up the Day – Final Appointments & Team Check-In
By 2:30 p.m., the last job of the day is underway. Before finishing up, our technicians:
Ensure the job site is spotless – We always leave a customer's home cleaner than we found it.
Review findings with the homeowner – We discuss additional maintenance needs and answer questions.
Confirm the next service appointment if needed. Some repairs require follow-ups, and we ensure customers are scheduled accordingly.
Back to Base – End-of-Day Team Recap
By 3:30 p.m., our technicians return to the Chimney Bear headquarters to:
Restock supplies
Log job details in our system
Share experiences & lessons learned
Although the day may be over, our impact on homeowners’ safety and comfort lasts long after we leave.
