Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweep technicians ensure no mess is left behind during the sweeping process. We inspect your chimney and report the status of your chimney system. Using specialized brushes and HEPA filters, we remove creosote buildup and debris to prevent fire hazards. Annual sweeping maintains compliance with safety standards and ensures optimal performance for wood or gas fireplaces.
Chimney Inspections
We conduct Level 1, 2, and 3 chimney inspections to assess system integrity. Using camera equipment for Level 2 inspections, we identify cracks, leaks, or blockages. Inspections are required after chimney fires, home sales, or major repairs. Our detailed reports include photos and recommendations to maintain safety and prevent carbon monoxide exposure.
Fireplace Repair
From minor fixes to full rebuilds, we address masonry damage, leaks, and component failures. Services include relining flues, repairing dampers, and restoring brickwork. Our HeatShield-certified technicians handle terracotta tile deterioration. We also install chimney caps to prevent animal intrusion and water damage, ensuring long-term functionality.
Gas Log Repair
Our NFI-certified experts troubleshoot, install, and repair gas logs, pilot lights, and ignition systems. We clean burners, check gas connections, and ensure proper ventilation. Services include fixing noisy blowers, cloudy glass panels, and inefficient combustion. Annual inspections maintain safety and efficiency for gas-fueled appliances.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We clean dryer vents to eliminate lint buildup, reducing fire risks. Our certified technicians inspect ductwork for blockages and ensure proper airflow. Regular maintenance improves appliance efficiency and extends dryer lifespan. This service is crucial for homes where dryer vents are often overlooked but pose significant hazards.
