Services
Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning service removes creosote buildup and debris to prevent fire hazards while improving system efficiency. Using specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums, we clean flues, dampers, and smoke chambers. Annual maintenance ensures compliance with NFPA safety standards and extends chimney lifespan.
Wood Stove Installation
We install wood-burning stoves with proper chimney integration and safety clearances. Our process includes hearth preparation, flue installation, and compliance checks. Certified technicians ensure optimal placement for heat distribution and code adherence, including EPA certification verification.
Gas Log Fireplace Installation
Our gas fireplace installations include gas line checks, venting system setup, and safety feature verification. We ensure proper combustion efficiency and install automatic shut-off valves. Services cover propane and natural gas systems with post-installation performance testing.
Chimney Inspection
Level 1-3 inspections identify structural damage, creosote levels, and safety compliance. We use video scanning technology for flue lining assessments and provide written reports. Inspections include damper functionality checks and repair recommendations before winter seasons.
Dryer Duct Cleaning
We remove lint buildup from dryer exhaust systems to prevent fire risks and improve appliance efficiency. Our process includes vent disassembly, HEPA-filtered vacuuming, and airflow testing. Annual cleaning extends dryer lifespan and reduces energy consumption.
Questions
Why does my fireplace smoke into the house?
Smoke infiltration typically indicates creosote buildup, damaged chimney liners, or improper damper function. Our technicians diagnose and resolve airflow issues during inspections.

NFPA recommends annual inspections with cleaning as needed. Wood stove users require more frequent service due to creosote accumulation rates.
