Chimney Inspections
Our certified chimney inspections ensure structural integrity and safety through Level 1, 2, and 3 evaluations. Using advanced video diagnostics, we identify creosote buildup, obstructions, and damage to flues or masonry. Tailored for residential and commercial properties, our inspections comply with NFPA standards, providing detailed reports to prevent hazards and costly repairs.
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes creosote, animal nests, and debris to maintain safe, efficient operation. Our technicians use industrial-grade tools to clean flues, smoke chambers, and fireboxes, reducing fire risks. Annual cleanings are recommended to preserve chimney function and indoor air quality for wood, gas, or oil-burning systems.
Chimney Repairs
We address structural issues like cracked bricks, damaged mortar, and faulty flashing to restore chimney safety. Services include repointing, crown repair, and firebox restoration using durable materials. Our repairs prevent water intrusion and ensure compliance with safety codes, extending the lifespan of your chimney system.
Chimney Relining
Chimney relining restores venting safety for gas, wood, or oil appliances using stainless steel or cast-in-place liners. Licensed for WSSC-certified gas flue relining, we ensure proper venting of harmful gases. This service improves efficiency, prevents carbon monoxide leaks, and meets modern building code requirements for residential and commercial properties.
Gas Fireplace Installation
We install vented and ventless gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets for residential spaces. Our licensed technicians handle gas line connections, conversions, and venting systems, prioritizing energy efficiency and safety. Services include system diagnostics, component replacement, and conversions from wood-burning to gas, tailored to homeowner preferences and local regulations.
