Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency.
