Smoke pushing back into the room, a burning smell after a hot fire, or a CO alarm sounding is not a next-week problem. Our emergency line in Mill Pond, Richmond Hill is answered around the clock, and a technician is dispatched with a camera, containment gear, and the parts needed to make the appliance safe or safely shut it down.
What counts as an emergency
Smoke or CO entering the home, a chimney fire (even a small one), visible flames or sparks at the crown, a collapsed flue, or a strong burning smell after use. All of these get same-day dispatch in Mill Pond, Richmond Hill.
What we do on arrival
Isolate the appliance, camera the flue, check for cracked tiles and blockages, and either return the system to safe operation or tag it out with a written explanation of why.
After a chimney fire
A Level 2 inspection is mandatory before the appliance is used again. Cracked liner tiles and burnt mortar joints are invisible from the firebox but obvious on camera — and insurers require the documentation.

What Richmond Hill customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 743 reviews across the GTA. A selection relevant to this service below.
They told me the flue did not need sweeping yet and charged only for the inspection. First contractor in years to talk me out of spending money.
Drop cloths went down before anything else. Room was spotless afterwards and they fixed a loose cap on the spot rather than booking a second visit.
Shoe covers, sheeting, and a sealed vacuum. My wife works from home and barely noticed they were here.
Previous company swept and said everything was fine. Diamond ran a camera and showed me a cracked liner tile on screen. Glad I got the second opinion.
