Services
Chimney Inspections
Our CSIA-certified technicians perform comprehensive chimney inspections using Chim-Scan cameras to assess flue liners, smoke chambers, and structural integrity. We provide detailed reports with repair recommendations and photos, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making. All inspections include rooftop evaluations of brick, mortar, and flashing conditions.
Chimney Cleanings
We use rotary cleaning systems and dust prevention protocols to remove creosote buildup and debris from chimneys. Technicians clear a 5-foot work area, set up protective sheets, and perform pre-cleaning inspections of dampers and smoke shelves. Post-cleaning, we verify proper draft function and install top vacuum systems if needed.
Gas Fireplace Service
Our team services gas fireplaces, including venting systems, ignition components, and safety checks. We diagnose odor issues, perform smoke tests, and ensure proper airflow. Annual maintenance includes cleaning burners, checking gas lines, and verifying safe operation per manufacturer specifications.
Fireplace Installations
We install Ahren-Fire fireplace systems and complete venting setups, adhering to local building codes. Services include damper installation, waterproofing, and crown construction with drip ledges. All installations include permit acquisition and city inspector coordination for compliance.
Dryer Vent Maintenance
Certified technicians clean dryer vents to prevent fire hazards, using specialized tools to remove lint buildup and debris. We inspect termination dampers, check airflow efficiency, and recommend cleaning frequencies based on usage patterns to maintain safety and appliance performance.

Report
Anton was ontime friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. He talked through everything while we looked at the camera during our inspection and I never felt like he was talking down to me. He answered my questions and provided advise with multiple options. I would recommend and work with him again!
