Services
Chimney Sweep
Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps remove creosote buildup and obstructions to ensure safe, efficient fireplace operation. Using advanced tools like rotating brushes and video inspection, we address flammable residue and debris that could cause chimney fires. Annual cleanings improve airflow, reduce fire risks, and maintain compliance with safety standards.
Chimney Inspection
We conduct Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspections to identify damage, leaks, or obstructions. Video scanning technology allows thorough examination of liners, crowns, and internal components. Inspections help detect early signs of wear, ensuring timely repairs and preventing costly restorations while maintaining home safety.
Chimney Repair
Our technicians repair masonry cracks, damaged flashing, and deteriorated liners to restore chimney functionality. Services include tuckpointing, crown rebuilding, and stainless steel relining. We address water intrusion, structural instability, and fire damage, extending chimney lifespan while ensuring compliance with safety codes.
Fireplace Insert Installation
We install gas and wood-burning fireplace inserts to improve heating efficiency and aesthetics. Inserts fit into existing masonry fireplaces, offering 80%+ efficiency compared to 10-20% for open fireplaces. Our certified technicians ensure proper venting and compliance with local building codes for safe, long-term performance.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Our CDET-certified team clears lint buildup from dryer vents to prevent fire hazards and improve appliance efficiency. Clogged vents increase energy costs and carbon monoxide risks. We use specialized tools to remove debris from both internal and external vent sections, ensuring safe, unobstructed airflow.
