Chimney Inspections
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive chimney inspections using advanced diagnostic tools. We identify structural issues, check for animal nests, verify proper venting, and provide detailed reports with repair recommendations. Level 1 inspections include basic functionality checks while Level 2 assessments offer video documentation for property transactions. All inspections follow CSIA safety protocols to prevent fire hazards and ensure code compliance.
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup and soot deposits using HEPA-filter vacuums and specialized brushes. Our process includes flue brushing, smoke chamber cleaning, and exterior component inspection. We protect interiors with plastic barriers and provide video verification of cleaning effectiveness. Regular maintenance prevents chimney fires and ensures safe operation of heating systems throughout the winter season.
