Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate 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 clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.

Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
