Chimney Inspection
Our comprehensive chimney inspections identify safety hazards and structural issues before they escalate. Technicians examine flue systems, dampers, and fireboxes to detect creosote buildup, water damage, or deterioration. We provide detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations, ensuring homeowners understand their chimney's condition while meeting NFPA requirements for real estate transactions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Professional dryer vent cleaning removes lint obstructions that cause 92% of household dryer fires. Our team uses industrial-grade equipment to clear vents, install exterior terminations, and improve airflow efficiency. This service reduces fire risk, lowers energy bills, and extends appliance lifespan while following safety protocols for residential and commercial properties.
Chimney Repair
We specialize in repairing stainless steel liners, smoke chambers, and masonry components damaged by weather or wear. Services include parging damaged smoke chambers, replacing rusted flashing, and reconstructing chimney crowns. All repairs use code-compliant materials to restore structural integrity and prevent future water intrusion or gas leaks.
Fireplace Installation
Our certified technicians install EPA-certified wood stoves, gas inserts, and factory-built fireplaces that meet current efficiency standards. We handle complete tear-outs of outdated units, proper venting configurations, and energy-efficient upgrades while ensuring clearances to combustibles and proper damper functionality for optimal performance.
