Show the Cracked Flue With Chimney Sweep Business Software
Homeowners have heard the "you need a new liner" scam. Procured sends your flue photos with the repair quote, so the proof arrives with the price.
What Changes for a Sweep, From Roof to Invoice
A liner job lost to doubt costs a sweep the most, so it comes first.
Liner Quotes That Don't Look Like a Scam
A homeowner's brother-in-law calls every liner quote a scam. Attach your scan stills of the cracked tiles, and offer cap and crown repair as options. They see the damage before they accept.
- Save liners, caps and crown work in the price book → quotes build fast
- Offer the liner with or without crown repair → the homeowner picks
- Attach the flue photos to the quote → the price comes with its reason
- Watch for the Viewed status → ring them while it's on their mind
- Send a reminder on a quiet quote → follow up without phone tag
- Tap Convert to Job → the reline lands on the calendar
- Skip water sealing unless photos show a need → quotes stay honest
Next Fall's Sweep Booked Before You Leave
In October the phone rings three times a day for sweeps you can't fit until January. Book next fall's sweep before you leave each house, and pack the rest by town.
- Color-code sweeps, Level 2s and relines → spot the big jobs fast
- Block three days for a reline → the calendar shows the whole job
- Drag a rained-out roof job to Thursday → its notes move with it
- Book liner installs in July → fall stays free for sweeps
- Add a Saturday premium line from the price book → no weekend argument
- Say a rained-off job's new time aloud → it moves once you confirm
- Map the day's stops on the Team plan → less backtracking between towns
Findings on Record If a Fire Ever Happens
You tell a homeowner their insert isn't safe to use, and they're angry. Write "do not use" in the job notes with photos. The dated warning is on record if there's ever a fire.
- Attach camera stills of cracked tiles → the finding has proof
- Photo the crown and cap → they see the roof you saw
- Write the inspection level in the job notes → next year's sweep knows
- Write unsafe findings in plain words → no doubt about what you said
- Log the flue type and liner age → the house history builds up
- Ask for a signature when you finish → they signed off on the visit
- Lose signal on the roof → notes sync once you're back down
Level 2 Jobs Billed Before the Closing
A buyer's agent calls Monday for a Level 2, a full camera scan of the flue, before a Friday closing. Take the request, fit the scan into a packed week, and invoice the same day.
- Take the request from your website form → the sale address comes in
- Title it "Level 2, home sale" → it stands out on the calendar
- Save a two-flue Level 2 quote template → reuse it every sale
- Invoice the buyer after the scan → paid before closing week ends
- Attach scan stills to the invoice → the buyer has proof to share
- Set the job On Hold if closing slips → it stays on your list
Paid at the Truck, Deposits Before the Steel
A check that never shows up costs you a whole sweep. Tap the finished job to make the invoice. The homeowner pays by card or bank transfer before you've loaded the brushes.
- Invoice from the finished sweep → the flue prices carry over
- Add a second flue on site → the bill matches the work
- Send the pay link before you pack the vacuum → paid on site
- Record cash or a check at the door → balances stay right
- Take a reline deposit → it pays for the steel liner
- Bill the reline balance when it's done → the job closes out clean
- Add a dryer vent cleaning line → the side job gets paid too
Quiet Spring Days Spent Calling Old Quotes
Spring is quiet, so it's planning time. Check last season's revenue and costs. Pull up liner quotes that never got an answer, and call those homeowners before the rush.
- Filter sent quotes by status → find last fall's open liner quotes
- Check revenue by month → see how thin spring gets
- Log truck and brush costs as expenses → Procured does the math
- Look up a house's job history → every sweep and finding in one place
- Clock crew hours on each reline → know if the job paid
- Sign off on your helper's reline hours → pay matches the roof time
- Send fall's invoices to your accounting software → no retyping in January

What Is Chimney Sweep Business Software?
Chimney sweep business software is an app for booking sweeps, recording flue findings, quoting repairs and getting paid. For a sweep, the useful part is the house record: flue types, liner age, past findings and photos. That record is ready when you come back next season. Procured keeps it in job notes and photos, without NFPA 211 report forms.
