Chimney Inspection Software

The chimney inspection app that writes your report for you

Jobby replaces handwritten notes and scattered photos with a structured chimney checklist, AI-generated inspection narratives, and instant PDF delivery. Your customer gets a professional report before you leave the driveway.

The Problem

What chimney sweeps do today

Most chimney inspection companies still rely on handwritten forms, loose photos, and memory. It costs time, money, and repeat business.

  • Handwritten reports take 20-30 minutes per job and look unprofessional when scanned or photographed.
  • Photos get emailed separately with no context, leaving customers confused about what they are looking at.
  • Opportunities for liner repairs, cap replacements, and waterproofing go undocumented and forgotten.
  • NFPA 211 Level I and Level II inspections require thorough documentation that handwritten notes rarely satisfy.
  • No digital record of customer signatures means disputes over scope of work and recommended repairs.
The Solution

How Jobby works for chimney inspections

Jobby turns a chimney inspection into a 3-step process. Your technician taps through a structured checklist, AI writes the narrative, and the customer signs on the phone. The entire report is done in under 2 minutes.

1. Chimney checklist

Walk through a structured checklist covering firebox, flue, damper, cap, crown, flashing, creosote buildup, and liner condition. Mark each item Pass, Fail, or N/A.

2. AI writes the report

The AI reads your checklist results and generates a professional inspection narrative in 30 seconds. Review it, edit if needed, attach photos.

3. Sign, PDF, done

Customer signs on your phone screen. A branded PDF report is generated and emailed to the customer instantly. No paperwork leaves the truck.
