Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean 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 validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
