Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Top Hat Chimney has been cleaning and repairing chimneys around Waterford since 1999, and we keep our offers simple: real discounts, no fine print that bites. Call (860) 390-4899 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box. Wendell Pike puts his name on every job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise means the work is right or one call brings him back. Here’s what’s on the table this season.
Current Offers
$40 Off Any Repair Over $200
This applies to chimney repairs, cap and crown work, fireplace service calls, and liner work. If the repair quote comes in over $200, you save $40, flat. No percentage games, no “up to” language. Wendell gives you the number on the phone, and that number is the number on the invoice.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 390-4899.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
Got a written estimate from another chimney company that made your eyes water? Bring it to us. Wendell will go over it line by line, tell you what’s actually needed and what isn’t, and give you a straight answer. If the job doesn’t need doing, he’ll say so. That’s the part people remember.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 390-4899.
No Trip Charge Inside the County
If you’re in Waterford or within our service county, the visit itself costs you nothing. We show up, we look at the chimney, and we give you a clear price before a single tool comes off the truck. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why.

10% Off Always for Seniors and Veterans
This one never expires. If you’ve served this country or you’ve put in the years, you get 10% off every service, every time. It’s the same courtesy Wendell has offered since the day he started running his own truck. Just mention it when you book.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 390-4899.
Seasonal Sweep Special
Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too, and catching first-degree creosote early means a simple brush job instead of a glaze removal down the road. If your chimney hasn’t been swept in the last 12 months, call now and ask about the seasonal rate.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 390-4899.
First-Time Customer Courtesy
If you’ve never had Top Hat Chimney out to your Waterford home, ask about the first-time customer courtesy when you call. Wendell’s been serving local communities for over 29 years, and he’d rather earn your business with straight talk than with a hard sell.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 390-4899.
How to Redeem
Getting the discount is simple. Call (860) 390-4899 and tell the live person who answers which offer you want to use. We’ll book the visit and give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour spread. When the sweep gets there, just mention the offer again at the door. That’s it. No coupon printing, no codes, no hoops. Wendell and his crew keep it straightforward because that’s how it should work when someone’s working on your house.
Why These Offers Exist
Top Hat Chimney doesn’t run gimmick specials to pressure you into a liner you don’t need. We run them because a chimney that gets serviced is a chimney that doesn’t turn into a chimney fire. Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. A clean flue breathes, drafts properly, and keeps carbon monoxide moving up and out instead of into your living room. The camera footage gives you a plain-English verdict, every time, no exceptions. If the only thing your chimney needs is a sweep, that’s what we’ll tell you. Ask anyone on your street.
What You’re Actually Getting
Every Top Hat Chimney job includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every single job. If it’s not done right, one call brings Wendell back at no additional cost. The crew is background-checked and uniformed. The products we install come from brands we trust: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. And the person who answers the phone around the clock lives here, works here, and runs into you again on Saturday. That’s the difference between a local owner-operator and a franchise that rotated in last spring.
Call Before Burning Season
Waterford winters are hard on masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles crack crowns, rain works into the flue, and creosote from last year’s fires is sitting in there waiting. Book now, before the rush, and use one of the offers above. Call (860) 390-4899 and tell us which one you want. Wendell will be the one showing up at your door.
