Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards get more info are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
