Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out 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 verify effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system.

A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance.
