Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning

Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment.

Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.

Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
