HEPA Hearth Containment

Level 2 Video Diagnostics

Rotary Mechanical Clearing

Clearance Certification

Neoprene runners protect entryways while commercial negative-pressure triple-HEPA vacuums seal the firebox, guaranteeing zero airborne soot or dust enters interior living rooms.

Technicians deliver stamped written evaluation forms alongside color camera stills, verifying damper operation, clearance-to-combustibles, and structural crown integrity before sign-off.

Motorized 360-degree cameras travel the entire vertical liner, documenting hidden clay tile fractures, creosote glaze thickness, and mortar separation along internal joints.

Nylon and chain rotary heads scour stage-two deposits and porous soot down to bare terra-cotta, restoring unobstructed draft physics without abrading interior liner walls.

Certified Trade Disciplines

Ten Specialized Chimney Solutions

Flue Maintenance

Creosote Clearing & Glaze Remediation

Targeted mechanical cleaning eliminates combustible stage-three creosote layers and acidic soot accumulations. We restore proper draft velocity to wood stoves, open hearths, and oil or gas venting systems.

Diagnostic Scoping

Camera Inspections & Relining

Real-time optical scoping exposes concealed thermal breaks and breached flue walls. When clay liners deteriorate, we drop custom titanium-stabilized stainless steel relining systems with lifetime performance ratings.

Weather Protection

Crown Pouring & Custom Cap Installs

Damaged mortar crowns invite water intrusion into exterior brick courses. We form reinforced concrete overhang crowns, apply vapor-permeable elastomeric waterproofing, and bolt stainless animal exclusion spark-arrestor caps.

Masonry Restoration

Tuckpointing & Smoke Chamber Parging

Spalling brickwork and recessed mortar joints receive historical lime-sand matching and clean tuckpointing. Below the roofline, we smooth corbelled smoke chambers with insulating refractory parging to accelerate exhaust evacuation.
