Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect 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 free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements.

We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
