Chimney Inspection
Our certified technicians perform Level 1-3 chimney inspections to assess safety and efficiency. Using specialized cameras, we examine flues, dampers, and structural integrity for creosote buildup or damage. Annual inspections prevent fire hazards and costly repairs while ensuring compliance with National Fire Protection Association standards.
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes fires. Our CSIA-certified team uses HEPA-filtered equipment to eliminate soot and debris without indoor mess. Regular cleanings improve airflow, reduce smoke exposure, and maintain optimal fireplace performance according to NFPA 211 guidelines.
Chimney Repair
We specialize in masonry restoration, flue relining, and damper replacement for damaged chimneys. Our technicians address water intrusion, cracked mortar, and structural issues using durable materials. Repairs follow CSIA recommendations to restore safety and prevent further property damage from smoke or carbon monoxide leaks.
Fireplace Installation
Our experts install wood-burning, gas, and electric fireplaces with proper venting systems. We help clients choose EPA-certified models that maximize efficiency while meeting local building codes. Professional installation ensures safe operation and optimal heat output for residential and commercial spaces.
Firewood Supply
We provide properly seasoned hardwood in full, half, and face cords for efficient burning. Our firewood meets BTU optimization standards while minimizing creosote formation. Delivery and stacking services ensure convenient storage that complies with safety clearance requirements for chimney systems.
