John in Simcoe

I had been dealing with smoke coming into my house from the fireplace and was told by another company that my chimney was installed incorrectly, requiring an expensive reinstallation. After shopping around for quotes, I came across Steve from Alpine Chimney Sweeps and Installation. Steve took a look at my chimney setup over the phone and immediately suspected that a clogged intake pipe on my HRV system might be the real culprit. It could apparently cause negative pressure in the house and kill the draft within the fireplace. He advised me to check it, and sure enough, the intake pipe was completely clogged. Once cleared, my fireplace worked perfectly, with no smoke issues! Steves expertise saved me a lot of money, and Ill definitely return to him for future services.
