Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning

Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.

As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
