Old Saybrook homeowners, before you book a chimney sweep this season, know what ‘licensed and insured’ truly guarantees—and why Eddi Chimney Inc’s credentials go further to protect your home and wallet.
Step 1: Confirm state licensing and insurance for Old Saybrook work
In Connecticut, a licensed chimney sweep must hold a Home Improvement Contractor license from the Department of Consumer Protection. Eddi Chimney Inc’s license is current, and we carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance—so if a crew member accidentally damages your Old Saybrook home’s siding or a neighbor’s garden, you’re covered. Always ask for proof before scheduling. Need to verify ours? Contact us and we’ll send our license numbers and insurance certificates right away.
Step 2: Check local experience and preventative service depth
Old Saybrook’s historic homes often hide hidden chimney issues like cracked flue tiles or creosote buildup in brick chimneys. Eddi Chimney Inc has serviced homes along Main Street, the Fenwick section, and the shoreline for over 15 years—long enough to spot patterns in local wear and tear. We don’t just sweep; we inspect for early signs of water damage, mortar gaps, or liner wear that could lead to costly repairs if ignored. Schedule a Level 1 inspection here and we’ll flag small problems before they become big bills.
