Products and Services
Level 1 inspection for wood stove or fireplace:
This is a must for home buyers, new homeowners, current homeowners or anyone who would like to check the compliance and safety of their chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid fuel-burning appliances.
Level 2 inspection for wood stove or fireplace:
Level 2 inspection is required by National Fire Protection agency when a property is changing hands (real estate inspections); if there has been an event that may have damaged the chimney such as a chimney fire or a lightning strike; or before a different type of appliance is installed in a fire place (such as a wood or pellet insert.) Level 2 inspections should also be done if anything is detected during a level 1 inspection that indicates the need for a deeper inspection. Level 2 inspection includes inspecting the entire system, inside and out. For further clarification of a level 2 inspection, look at the NFPA 211 standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid fuel-burning appliances.
CHIMNEY SWEEP:
Cleaning the chimney involves brushing with wire brushes to remove all soot and debris, spider webs, leaves, and anything else that can accumulate in your chimney over the season. Inside the fireplace, we remove all soot from the fireplace itself, the damper, and from behind the damper, in the firebox itself. Everything is carefully vacuumed, and we use drop cloths and tape to make certain your home is safe from the damaging effects of the soot.
