Chimney Cleaning
Regular chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup, reducing fire hazards and improving system efficiency. Our CSIA-certified technicians use high-speed vacuums and specialized tools to ensure thorough debris removal. This service enhances airflow, prolongs chimney lifespan, and maintains safe indoor air quality for residential and commercial properties.
Inspection Certification
We conduct Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspections per NFPA guidelines, using video scans to identify hidden damage. Certification ensures compliance with safety standards and uncovers issues like liner cracks or refractory wall erosion. This service is critical for real estate transactions and post-damage evaluations.
Gas Log Installation
Our team installs vented and ventless gas log sets for efficient fireplace upgrades. This service includes selecting durable, handcrafted logs and optimizing burner systems for realistic flames. Gas conversions reduce maintenance needs while providing consistent heat and aesthetic appeal.
Fireplace Repair
We repair refractory walls, spark screens, and masonry components to restore fireplace functionality. This includes replacing damaged panels and corrosion-resistant screens. Repairs enhance safety, prevent heat loss, and maintain the appliances visual appeal.
Flashing Replacement
Our technicians install or replace chimney flashing to prevent roof leaks and water damage. Using durable materials like copper, we ensure proper layering and sealing. This service protects structural integrity and prevents moisture-related issues in residential and commercial buildings.
