Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration 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 professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage.

Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
