Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. 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 run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines here firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup.
