Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly.
