Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations

The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
