Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
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 the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
