Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes.

Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
