Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain 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 clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.

Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
