About Me Hi, I’m Heather! I’ve been a professional cleaner for over 10 years, and I truly love what I do. Cleaning isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I take pride in. I find it therapeutic and rewarding to transform a space and leave it fresh, organized, and welcoming. My clients appreciate my reliability, attention to detail, and the care I put into every home I clean. I treat every space as if it were my own, and I always aim to go above and beyond expectations. Whether it’s a deep clean or regular upkeep, I believe a clean home brings peace of mind. Fun Fact: I actually find cleaning relaxing! There’s something satisfying about seeing instant results and knowing I’ve helped make someone’s day a little easier.

"Scammers!! Asked for a chimney sweep and the employee did nothing, recommended we get a new fireplace and said he could not do anything because he did not have a manual for our chimney. I wasnt home at the time so I called the owner of the company asking why I paid for NOTHING. Said the employee would return my call and never did. I was also told the employee did not have a ladder so not sure how they were going to clean my chimney."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

There are a few different types of flues out there, including throat dampers and top-mounted dampers. A throat damper will look like a piece of metal inside the chimney that is either opened or closed, while a top-mounted damper will simply make it so that you can see the daylight streaming in through your chimney from inside if it’s open.

Septic tank locations are sometimes public record, although it depends on local laws and the property age. Older properties may not have the septic tank information on public record. To check, you can talk to local permitting agencies, such as your local health department, the local environmental department, or the county clerk.

Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any “attractive nuisances”—features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury—like a pool or treehouse. 

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and not disturbed. Asbestos is only dangerous when it becomes airborne, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, it's important not to disturb it and to have it professionally inspected.

It’s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don’t want to let those problems persist. Most foundation issues don’t lead to a house’s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.
