Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
