Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal

Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require 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 verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections

Before starting your first fire of the season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

During your assessment, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
