Chimney Sweeping

Financial clarity for chimney companies that are building something bigger

Most chimney businesses start as one-person operations. But as you add technicians, expand into repairs and relining, and build a real company — your finances need to keep pace. Fervent makes that transition seamless.

The financial challenges chimney sweeping companies face

Compressed earning season

The bulk of chimney revenue hits in fall and early winter. That means 8-10 months of expenses funded by 3-4 months of peak revenue. Without cash flow discipline, growth stalls.

Service mix complexity

Sweeping, inspections, relining, cap installation, masonry repair, and waterproofing all carry different margins. If you're not tracking them separately, you don't know what's making you money.

Scaling beyond the owner

Going from doing every job yourself to managing technicians is the hardest financial transition. Suddenly you need payroll, insurance, training costs, and real job costing.

Certification and compliance costs

CSIA certifications, continuing education, insurance, and equipment investment are real costs that need to be factored into your pricing and planning.
