Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need 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. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II adds get more info comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
