Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform 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 control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke read more chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage.

Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential.

We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
