The traditional method of chimney inspection is a manual process that requires physical presence and expertise. This method is not only time-consuming but also poses a risk to the inspector. Furthermore, homeowners often neglect regular chimney inspections due to the inconvenience and cost associated with hiring a professional inspector. This neglect can lead to potential hazards such as house fires caused by unsafe fireplaces. Leslie T. Borerwe, a qualified chimney inspector, software product manager, and front-end developer, recognized these challenges and sought a solution that would make chimney inspection more accessible, efficient, and safe.

Leslie developed mySafe Chimney, a DIY virtual chimney inspection web application, using Bubble's no-code platform. The application features a simple user interface that guides users through a 12-point questionnaire about their fireplace. After the data is inputted, a team of qualified chimney inspectors manually reviews the information and generates a report on the safety of the fireplace, covering aspects such as soot buildup, firebox safety, health hazards, and flue safety. The application is currently in its BETA phase, with plans to evolve into an analytical-based app offering a comprehensive solution to reduce the risk associated with unsafe chimneys. The ultimate goal is to make mySafe Chimney a leading solution in the fireplace industry.
