Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner click here replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
