Chimney Safety

To help you keep your chimney in safe condition, the Woodbridge Association requires an annual chimney inspection through a local chimney sweeping company of your choice.  If the creosote build-up is less than 1/8”, cleaning is not mandatory.  If, however, the creosote build-up is 1/8” or more, the fireplace must be cleaned before it is used.  The company you employ must submit a certification of inspection and/or cleaning to the Association Office by the deadline of December 1, 2010.
The board has contacted a certified chimney sweep that is willing to come to our community on a specific date, November 15, 2010, to offer his services at a possible discounted rate.
If seven (7) chimneys are serviced here on Woodbridge on November 15th then he would charge $75 for inspection only and $125 for inspection and sweeping combined for a savings of $25.  If ten (10) chimneys are serviced here at Woodbridge on November 15th then he would charge $75 for inspection only and $100 for inspection and sweeping combined for a savings of $50.  If less than seven (7) are serviced or the service is scheduled on a day other then November 15th than his regular pricing would be in effect, which is $75 for the inspection and $150 for inspection and sweeping combined.  Deadline to schedule for the discounted day is November 8.
