Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines 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 proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency.

Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly.

Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
