Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require 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 stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
