Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes creosote buildup using specialized brushes and powerful vacuum systems. We protect your home with drop cloths and ensure proper drafting for safer, more efficient wood burning. Regular maintenance prevents chimney fires and carbon monoxide risks.
Code Compliance Inspections
We perform Level 1-3 inspections following WETT and Ontario building code standards. Our certified technicians evaluate system integrity, clearances, and installation compliance while providing detailed reports for insurance or real estate needs.
Chimney Relining
We install stainless steel and aluminum liners for various fuel types. Proper relining improves drafting efficiency, prevents flue deterioration, and ensures safe operation of wood, gas, or oil-burning appliances.
Minor Masonry Repairs
Our team addresses masonry issues including tuckpointing, crown cap replacement, and clay flue tile repairs. We maintain structural integrity while matching existing brickwork for seamless results.
Video Inspection
Using specialized cameras, we inspect hard-to-reach areas of your chimney system. This technology identifies cracks, blockages, and deterioration issues that require repair, providing visual documentation for insurance purposes.

Really great expert service from initial call with Yvette (wonderful, friendly and quick to help) to the completion of the service call. They went out of their way to provide a service call to fit into my schedule. Did not expect this and so happy to have found AIM.

Vince knows his business and fully serviced the wood burning stove With Jarret as top professionals. Vince made some recommendations for more efficiency and made everything so easy. First time

Yvette at AIM provided an amazing customer service experience and I was not even a customer. She spent a great deal of time both on the phone and email helping me solve a problem with my chimney. I really appreciated her support and knowledge of her business and willingness to help. Thank you, Yvette!
