For chimney & fireplace inspectors
FlueNote is a shared library of inspection findings for your whole crew. Each one is a finished paragraph that says what's wrong, why it's a hazard, the code that requires it, and the fix. Techs type a short code on the iPad, copy it, and paste it into the report.
No card needed to start. Works on iPad, tablets, phones and office PCs.
What FlueNote does
Built for the part of the report where techs write the same findings over and over.
Every finding has a shortcut code, a severity, the paragraph, its code reference, a homeowner version and a repair line.
Mark each area OK, Problem, N/A or No access. Problems let the tech pick findings, which drop into the report in your company's section order.
Findings are grouped under your section headings. Copy the full report, a single section, a short job summary, or the repair lines for the estimate.
Four quick checks. Anything that fails comes with a ready-made finding.
Works with what you already use
Keep running jobs, forms and estimates in the software you already pay for, such as ServiceTitan. FlueNote supplies the chimney-specific wording that software doesn't come with.
Side by side on the iPad. FlueNote on one side and your job app on the other, using Split View.
Section by section. Copy the Hearth section, paste it into the job's inspection form, then the next area.
Into the job notes. One tap copies a short summary: hazards, repairs, and areas with no issues.
Onto the estimate. “Copy repair lines” gives you the repair list to build the estimate.
FlueNote is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ServiceTitan.
What you can use it for
Pull the common findings in seconds: creosote, crown cracks, missing caps, damper problems.
Consistent, code-referenced wording that holds up when buyers, agents and insurers read it.
Check connector slope and length on site, then add the finding straight to the report.
Listing issues, mixed components, unlisted shrouds, chase covers and gas log problems.
New hires write reports in your company's voice from day one, with the code reasons in front of them.
Office staff pull the same wording on a PC for estimates, emails and repair proposals.
Starter library
Checked against the 2021 International Residential Code, NFPA 211 and the NFPA 54 vent connector rules. Every company gets its own copy to edit.
What's wrong. “The hearth extension does not meet the minimum required size.”
The requirement. “Code requires the hearth extension to extend at least 16 inches in front of the fireplace opening and 8 inches beyond each side…”
Why it matters. “…allows sparks, embers, or rolling logs to land on combustible flooring, creating a fire hazard.”
The fix. “We recommend extending the hearth with approved noncombustible material before the fireplace is used.”
Reference shown with it: IRC R1001.10; NFPA 211
Your team
Runs the account and billing. Invites people, sets roles, and can do everything an admin can.
Usually the office manager or lead tech. Edits the findings library, imports your wording, adds and removes techs.
Uses the library in the field: search, copy, run walkthroughs and calculators, build the report. Can't change the shared wording.
Techs sign in with a code sent to their email. No passwords to remember or reset. Remove someone and their access ends right away.

Built for the iPad
Full screen, its own icon, and it keeps a saved copy of your library for jobs with weak signal.
FlueNote on one side, your report software on the other. Copy on the left, paste on the right.
With a keyboard case, type a code and press Enter to copy. Shift+Enter adds it to the report.
Big buttons, area filters and severity chips work without a keyboard.
Questions
Yes. FlueNote copies plain text, so you can paste it into any report program, Word, Google Docs, email or a PDF form.
They do different jobs. Your field service software runs the job, forms and estimates; FlueNote gives your techs the chimney-specific, code-referenced wording to put in them. Techs copy a section, a job summary or the repair lines from FlueNote and paste them into the job. A direct connection is planned.
Every starter finding has a plain-language homeowner version. Flip one switch in the report draft to copy that wording instead of the technical paragraph.
Yes. The Insights page shows the most-used findings, how many walkthroughs were done, and activity by person.
The starter findings were checked against the 2021 International Residential Code, NFPA 211 and NFPA 54. Your jurisdiction may use a different edition or local amendments, so have a lead tech review the library once. You can edit any finding.
Yes. Edit the starter findings, add your own, or paste your existing wording in from a spreadsheet. We can also do it for you with Library import.
Your admin sees “Library updates” with the new and improved findings and chooses which to apply. Your edited wording is never overwritten without your OK.
No. They enter their email and type the sign-in code we send. Admins can remove a tech at any time.
It needs a connection to sign in and to save changes. Once loaded, the library stays available on the device if the signal drops.
Each company's library and team are kept separate. Other companies can never see your wording.
Export your library to a spreadsheet first. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
