Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination

Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.

Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations

Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.

During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, 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.
