Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment.

Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system.
