Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable 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 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. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions.

If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow.

Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. 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.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
