Rotary Power Sweeping
Dense creosote glaze presents a severe ignition risk. We deploy motorized rotary whip heads calibrated to strip hardened combustible deposits from clay tile and prefabricated metal liners without fracturing adjacent masonry.
Level-2 Video Flue Inspections
A continuous 360-degree optic camera travels the entire chimney shaft from firebox to termination. Homeowners receive unedited high-definition footage detailing crack locations, joint separations, and clearance gaps.
Spark Arrestors and Animal Guarding
Damaged mesh allows raccoons, swifts, and rain intrusion directly into the smoke chamber. We install heavy-gauge stainless steel chimney caps custom-fitted to your crown dimensions, preventing downdrafts and water rot.
Flue Relining and Masonry Repointing
Deteriorated mortar joints allow lethal carbon monoxide into attic spaces. We repoint degraded firebrick, pour reinforced refractory crowns, and install smooth stainless liners that restore correct chimney draft velocity.

On-Site Review and Safety Sign-off
Double-layer drop cloths seal your living space, paired with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuums to contain all airborne particulate before inspection starts.
Carlos inspects external brickwork, flashing seals, mortar crowns, and spark arrestor screens for weather fracturing and seismic shifting.
Our robotic camera transverses the smoke chamber, damper throat, and flue tiles, recording exact thermal cracks and creosote concentration zones.
We review footage on the monitor with you, explaining mandatory safety clearances and providing an honest written assessment without upselling.
