Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination

Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage.

Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems

After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial.
