Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas 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.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow.

We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
