Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes.
