Hearth Isolation
Rotary Flue Sweeping
HEPA Evacuation
Digital Draft Check
Heavy drop runners and reinforced magnetic curtains seal the firebox threshold, containing all soot particles prior to tool activation.
Nylon and steel mechanical rods scour the internal clay tiles, breaking loose hardened glazed creosote from smoke chamber to crown.
Industrial three-stage vacuum systems maintain continuous negative airflow, capturing micro-particulates before they enter the living quarters.
A full-column camera scan logs thermal cracks and damper seal alignment, producing a documented condition report on completion.
Precision Hearth and Venting Solutions
Glazed Creosote Removal
Stage-three glazed creosote requires chemical neutralizing sprays and mechanical whipping heads. We clear the volatile fuel without fracturing sensitive terracotta flue tile walls.
Full-Column Camera Inspections
Our 360-degree rotating cameras travel the entire vertical run from hearth throat to exterior termination, identifying hidden mortar degradation and hazardous chimney separations.
Throat Damper Rebuilding
Warped cast-iron dampers leak conditioned air and cause downdrafts. We replace failing throat plates or install stainless steel top-sealing dampers with lifetime cable controls.
Crown Reconstruction & Tuckpointing
Inland California sun and seasonal storms crack Portland cement caps. We pour fiber-reinforced concrete crowns and repoint deteriorated mortar joints to stop moisture penetration.
Every flue inspection concludes with factual photographic evidence, clear clearance measurements, and zero speculative repair quotas.
We report what we document inside your venting system. If your clay liner is sound and the draft draws cleanly, our team clears the ash, confirms airflow, and signs off.
Direct dispatch available Sunday through Friday. Reserve an appointment for annual sweeps, draft troubleshooting, or pre-purchase inspections.
