Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
