Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure 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 stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage.
