Hot take: I think the 'always use a full containment system' rule is overkill for some jobs
Got a call for a simple cleaning on a ranch house with a straight, modern flue in Greenville. My crew wanted to set up the full plastic sheeting and zip wall, but I said just use the drop cloth and a good vacuum. It saved us almost an hour and the client was happy with the lower bill. Anyone else think the one-size-fits-all containment rule needs a second look for straightforward jobs?

Our company started doing a risk assessment checklist for each job. It lets us skip the full containment on maybe one in five cleanings.

That risk assessment idea from jamie_clark makes a lot of sense. A straight flue in an empty ranch house is a world apart from an old Victorian. Smart rules should bend a little for simple jobs.
