Containment setup

Rotary flue cleaning

Internal camera scope

NFPA documentation

We lay heavy canvas drop-cloths and seal the fireplace opening with high-filtration negative air containment before unwrapping any tools.

Our technicians run motorized mechanical whip rods and HEPA dust vacuums up the entire flue shaft to dislodge glazed Stage 3 creosote.

We pass a dual-axis video sensor down the flue column, scanning every terracotta joint for thermal fractures and hidden flue gaps.

You receive a signed NFPA Level 2 condition report complete with high-resolution photo logs, drafting calculations, and clear code determinations.

Technical Capabilities

Specialized mechanical maintenance

Creosote Extraction

Rotary mechanical sweep

Heavy soot and glazed creosote deposits restrict ventilation and trigger chimney fires. We scrub the full flue length down to clean clay using rotary gear.

Flue Restoration

Stainless steel relining

Cracked terracotta tiles allow combustible gases into wall framing. We install custom UL-listed continuous stainless liners with pour-in insulation.

Drafting Control

Top-sealing damper installation

Traditional throat dampers warp and leak conditioned air year-round. Our airtight silicone top-mounted dampers seal warm air inside and lock drafts out.

Ember Protection

Custom spark arrestors

Valley wildland-urban interface fire codes require certified mesh arrestors. We fabricate heavy stainless screens preventing burning embers from escaping.

Structural Craft

Masonry restoration & waterproofing

Tuckpointing & mortar replacement

We rake out fractured lime mortar joints and repack them with breathable, color-matched refractory compounds that withstand seismic settling.

Siloxane moisture seal application

Deep penetrating 100% breathable siloxane sealants block heavy seasonal storm water intrusion without trapping interior vapor within the chimney shaft.

Complete chimney crown rebuilding

Cracked flat mortar washes allow rainwater to soak deep into brickwork, splitting internal tiles during cool evenings. We form and pour reinforced concrete crowns with overhanging drip edges to channel moisture away from structural brick courses permanently.
