Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination

Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm 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 safe operation.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections

Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.

During your assessment, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation.

Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues

After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.

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.
