Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal

Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
