Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from 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 reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while 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.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates.

We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
