Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning

Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers.

Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
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 perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly.

We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. 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.
