Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
