Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning

Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin 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. Clean 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 ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections

Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds 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 examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm 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 obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.

For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion.
