Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination

Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean 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 free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.

During your assessment, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers 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 correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow.

Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke

Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.

We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.

For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
