Services
Chimney sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes creosote buildup to ensure safe operation and prevent deterioration. We use a no-mess method with tarps and specialized tools to clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and flue liner. The process takes 20-60 minutes and includes vacuum control to eliminate dust migration.
Fireplace cleaning
Fireplace cleaning involves removing creosote and debris from fireplaces and wood stoves. We clean the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue liner using specialized brushes and vacuums. This service improves efficiency, reduces fire hazards, and extends the lifespan of your fireplace system.
Dryer vent cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from dryer exhaust systems. We use high-powered vacuums and brushes to clear blockages, improving dryer efficiency and reducing fire risks. The process includes reconnecting vent pipes and ensuring proper airflow for optimal performance.
Flue relining
Flue relining involves installing stainless steel or aluminum liners to improve chimney efficiency and safety. We recommend appropriate liner sizes based on system specifications. This service enhances draft performance, prevents gas leaks, and extends the lifespan of heating appliances.
Chimney cap installation
Chimney cap installation prevents water intrusion and animal infestations. We offer stainless steel and copper caps that protect against weather damage while maintaining proper ventilation. This service eliminates nesting issues and reduces maintenance needs for long-term protection.
