Specialized Capabilities

Soot & Creosote Removal

Standard sweeps and glaze treatment

We clear flammable Stage 3 creosote, ash buildup, and bird nesting from open hearths, wood stoves, and furnace flues using rotary whips and HEPA extraction.

NFPA Diagnostic Scans

Level 1 and 2 video flue inspections

Our 360-degree digital inspection cameras examine internal terracotta tiles for hairline cracks, water intrusion, and joint separation during real estate transfers and seasonal checks.

Historic Preservation

Chimney tuckpointing and crown rebuilds

We restore spalling bricks, install poured concrete crowns, and replace leaking lead counter-flashing using period-appropriate lime mortars suited to New England freeze-thaw cycles.

Job Protocol

The dustless four-stage sweep

Runner cloth containment

HEPA negative pressure

Mechanical rotary sweeping

Digital camera verification

We lay protective floor runners from your entryway directly to the hearth before unloading equipment.

Industrial negative-air filtration seals the firebox opening so microscopic soot particles cannot enter ambient air.

Calibrated poly and steel brushes scrub flue walls from damper throat to chimney termination cap.

We run an internal camera scan post-sweep and review the recorded footage directly with you on-site.

Honest Diagnostics

Clear video proof precedes every recommended repair.

We never quote costly liner replacements or structural relining based on guesswork. You see the high-resolution footage of your flue tiles before any scope of work begins.
