Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard.

Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
