Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow.

Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential.
