Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. 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, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.

If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.

Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems

After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.

We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing.

For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
