Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard.

Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
