Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard 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. Carry out creosote testing to locate 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 free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage.

We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In check here locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
