Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination

Secure your home by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control 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 free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.

Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup.

A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.

Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
