Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal

Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.

We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies website and improve system safety and efficiency.
