Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration.
