Chimney Cleaning
Our comprehensive chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris using professional-grade equipment. We protect interiors with floor coverings and leave workspaces cleaner than found. Annual maintenance prevents dangerous blockages while improving heating efficiency for wood and pellet systems.
Wood Stove Sales
We sell and install EPA-certified Pacific Energy and Osburn stoves that maximize BTU output. New technology reduces emissions by 30% while increasing heat efficiency. Our team advises on proper stove placement and venting for optimal performance and safety compliance.
Pellet Stove Service
Specialized maintenance for Enviro Fire and Easy Fire pellet stoves ensures reliable operation. We troubleshoot ignition issues, clean combustion chambers, and calibrate feed systems. Preventative care extends appliance lifespan while maintaining manufacturer warranty requirements.
Chimney Repair
Structural repairs address cracked crowns, deteriorating mortar joints, and damaged liners. We perform point-and-tuck restoration and complete chimney rebuilds using code-compliant materials. Waterproofing treatments prevent future moisture damage to clay tiles and brickwork.
Thorough Inspections
Level 2 inspections use camera technology to evaluate internal flue conditions. We identify hidden hazards like animal intrusions, creosote accumulation, and structural weaknesses. Written reports include actionable recommendations prioritizing safety and system efficiency.
