Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
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 confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. 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 receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
