Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations

Level I examines standard safety requirements, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.

We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function.

You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
