Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.

Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct more info leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
