CHIMNEY SAFETY FIRM

The Standard of Certainty

Our History & Mission

The Chimney Safety Firm was founded to fill a critical gap in the hearth industry: the need for unbiased, forensic-level diagnostics. While the industry is filled with "cleaners," there are very few "specialists" dedicated solely to the science of structural integrity and fire prevention.

The "Strategic Independence" Model

The Chimney Safety Firm is owned and operated by Joe Mack, the veteran principal behind the region’s premier chimney service provider, The Mad Hatter Service Company.

After decades in the field, Joe recognized a fundamental conflict of interest in the industry. To solve this, he made a bold move: He split the diagnostic process from the repair process. The Chimney Safety Firm was established as a separate, specialized entity to act as a "Check and Balance." By operating The Chimney Safety Firm as an independent diagnostic firm, we ensure that:

1. The Evidence is Objective: Our only goal is to find the truth using high-definition video scoping and a 21-point forensic protocol.

2. The Findings are Unbiased: The Chimney Safety Firm does not perform "sweeps" or "maintenance." The Firm specialists are not looking for "upsells"—they are looking for hazards.

Our Relationship with The Mad Hatter

To ensure that any hazards we identify are corrected to our rigorous safety specifications, The Chimney Safety Firm maintains a "Preferred Contractor" agreement with The Mad Hatter Service Company. While our clients are free to use any contractor they choose, we have vetted and certified The Mad Hatter to perform remediation work that meets our forensic standards.

One owner. Two missions.

• The Chimney Safety Firm finds the truth.

• The Mad Hatter Service Co. restores the safety.

By keeping these operations separate, we provide our clients with a level of transparency, professionalism, and fire-safety certainty that is unmatched in the state.
