Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform 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 free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage.
