Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our professional chimney sweeping removes creosote buildup and debris from fireplace flues using industry-standard tools. We follow CSIA guidelines for thorough cleaning, ensuring proper ventilation and fire safety. The process includes protective covering of work areas and post-service cleanup.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We remove lint accumulation from dryer exhaust systems using specialized rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums. Our technicians measure duct pressure before and after cleaning to verify optimal airflow, reducing fire risk and improving appliance efficiency.
Masonry Repair
Our certified masons perform tuckpointing, crown repairs, and structural fixes for chimneys using matching materials. We address water infiltration issues through proper flashing installation and mortar joint restoration, extending chimney lifespan.
Chimney Inspection
We conduct Level 1 visual inspections with digital documentation of internal components. Our technicians check for structural defects, creosote levels, and proper clearances using high-resolution cameras and specialized diagnostic tools.
Chimney Waterproofing
We apply ChimneySaver water repellent to masonry surfaces, creating a breathable barrier against moisture damage. This treatment prevents freeze-thaw cycles and includes a 10-year warranty when applied by our certified technicians.
