This letter is in reference to Oesterling chimney sweep in Columbus Indiana. I had a problem with my fireplace that I needed repaired, and their website said that they did chimney repair and restoration. I knew what the problem was and felt as if they would have seen this before. My first contact was by email, but I was not contacted so I called to schedule an appointment. I then sent pictures of the roof as well as a description of the problem, so that they would be prepared. Again no response so I called to make sure that the pictures had been received, and that the primary objective of this visit was to repair the problem, secondary was to clean the fireplace. The problem was that when the insert was installed, a large hole had been cut into the back of the existing fireplace so that a new flue could be installed. This area had not been sealed, nor had the chimney cap been sealed to the top of the chimney. The smell inside the house, as well as a blower door test revealed this problem. I had asked Oesterling to seal the chimney cap. What they did was to install a ¼â strip of insulation behind the fireplace surround. This did not fix the problem, so I complained. They did come out again but only proceeded to force more insulation around the surround, to the point it is visible from within the room. My next email asked if they had sealed the chimney cap to the chimney. No response. Oesterling had charged me for a level 2 inspection, which would include examination of the exterior of the chimney. Since they did not respond, it is doubtful that this was done. The problem has not been repaired, and I must now find someone else to repair.
Response from Oesterling Chimney Repair & Sweep, LLC
"I do understand your concerns of us not answering. I take full responsibility for not getting back with you in a timely manner. However, at this period we were short staffed because of the quarantine from the Corona Virus. My first and foremost dedication is to the safety of my customers and my employees. Being short handed is however not an excuse. We were following up after someone else that installed the insert for you. Why did you not call the professionals that installed your insert incorrectly? Also, we were told the air leak was coming around the fireplace opening. If you wanted us to remove the insert and redo their install why did you not tell us that? We do not have the equipment to do a blower door test. We thought the air was coming from around the insert?s surround. The 1st technician arrived to do the chimney sweep. At that time he noticed there was no fireproof insulation around the surround, thinking that was indeed the problem. I will return you $20 for the insulation via check. If we were aware that you wanted the insert pulled out to insulate the liner and firebox it would have been done. Just to make you aware, the cost to do the insert pull out and insulating would have been more labor, so more money. I apologize for the miscommunication on this project. I will return the $20.00 for the cost of the insulation around the surround. Matt Oesterling, Owner Oesterling Chimney Sweep"

Came out to check my gas fireplace that wouldn’t remain lit. Found a faulty thermo-coupling and didn’t charge for the trip out. Waiting for the part to come in and then i can comment on the replacement.

Oesterling was able to clean my wood stove and chimney when others said they couldn't. I appreciated that they did an inspection, and they gave me recommendations for future maintenance. And, they were very neat and clean. They are my new "go to" chimney service.

Very pleased with the evaluation performed, and am planning on having more work done by Oesterling. The scheduling was easy, and they were able to accommodate me quickly with an on-site appointment. My technician, Abe, was prompt, courteous, and extremely patient and informative in answering all my questions. The follow-up was similarly prompt and organized. I look forward to working with this company in the future!!

The company is top-notch. From the first contact person to the workers in my home, I was given prompt, courteous and friendly service. They were able to come sooner than expected and were very thorough in their work. They showed respect for my home by taking their shoes off at the door, placing blankets down in the work zone and they cleaned up after they were done. Went above and beyond my expectations!
