Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard.

Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out 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. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, and Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a get more info prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration.
