Chimney Sweep Invoice Template

Sweeping, inspection level, creosote condition, caps and liners. Free PDF.

A chimney invoice is a safety record as much as a bill. What the sweep found — creosote stage, a cracked flue tile, a missing cap — is the part that matters six months later when the homeowner is deciding whether to light a fire, and it is what an insurer asks for after a chimney fire.

Condition found
Stage two creosote through the upper third, removed by sweeping. The camera scan found a hairline crack in the fourth flue tile from the top — not a reason to stop using the fireplace this season, but it should be re-scanned next year and will eventually need a liner. The cap was missing entirely, which is why water staining was visible in the smoke chamber.

What to put on a chimney sweep invoice

  • The appliance and flue serviced, where the property has more than one
  • The inspection level performed, since a visual check and a camera scan are different products
  • Creosote condition found, by stage, and how much was removed
  • Any defect found, described plainly, with whether it makes the flue unsafe to use
  • Caps, dampers, liners and masonry work as their own lines
  • Your certification, which is what an insurer looks for on the document

Questions

Why does the inspection level matter?

Because they answer different questions. A visual inspection covers the readily accessible parts; a camera scan of the flue interior is what finds cracked tiles and gaps behind them. A homeowner buying a house, or one who has had a chimney fire, needs the second and should not be sold the first.

Should I write down creosote stage?

Yes. Stage three glazed creosote is a fire hazard and a reason to stop using the appliance, and the invoice is the only place that assessment survives. It also justifies the sweep frequency you are recommending.

What if I find the flue unsafe?

Say so on the invoice in plain words, not only in conversation. It is the document the homeowner keeps, and if there is later a fire it is the record that the condition was reported.
