Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.

Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.

You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
