Summary Forms - what are they?
     |
|
Our chimney and fireplace inspection Summary Reports consist of an instruction page and an inspection page. Within the instruction page, there is a paragraph on how to understand the forms, an Invoice/Receipt, signature area and an area for your customer’s information. There is plenty of room for your logo and company information.
The report page first explains how to use the forms. It mentions some of the tools we might use such as digital cameras, flashlights, and an internal chimney camera. We talk about Levels of Inspection and give the definitions of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 including information on access. There are checkoff boxes for each level.
Further down, we have definitions for Operational Ready, Operational Deficient and Hazardous Conditions. The bottom 2/3 of the page shows segmented parts of the chimney with corresponding text boxes for your comments and a “traffic light” set of boxes to check off the correct condition for that segment. This way, the customer can understand that while the flues may have damage and are marked hazardous, the firebox may be in Operational Ready Condition. In short, the entire installation is not labeled as hazardous, just the defect and location. The report contains a disclaimer and a customer/technician signature box.
