Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes.

When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage.

With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to 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 resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
