Services
Chimney Sweeping
Professional chimney sweeping removes hazardous creosote buildup to prevent fires. Our technicians use specialized brushes and vacuums to clean flues thoroughly. Annual maintenance recommended by fire safety experts ensures optimal performance and safety for wood-burning appliances.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning eliminates lint accumulation that causes fire risks and reduces appliance efficiency. We inspect ductwork for blockages and damage while restoring proper airflow. This service improves dryer performance and lowers energy costs through comprehensive system maintenance.
Chimney Inspection
Our Level 2 camera inspections identify hidden structural issues and creosote levels. Real estate inspections include detailed PDF reports with repair estimates. Visual assessments check for masonry damage, cap integrity, and proper clearances to combustible materials.
Chimney Repair
We perform crown restoration, crack sealing, and spark arrestor replacement to maintain chimney functionality. Our repairs address water damage prevention and structural integrity concerns. Services include installing chimney caps and restoring damaged mortar joints for long-term durability.
Creosote Removal
Specialized creosote removal addresses Stage 2 and 3 glazed deposits using chemical treatments and mechanical scraping. This critical service eliminates highly flammable buildup that standard sweeping cannot remove. Post-treatment prevents rapid reaccumulation of dangerous combustion byproducts.
