- Chimney InspectionA level 1, 2 or 3 review of the full chimney system so you know whether it is safe to light a fire.
- Creosote RemovalClearing stage 1, 2 and 3 creosote from fireplace and stove flues matched to how hard and thick the deposits are.

- Chimney Odor RemovalTracking down the creosote, moisture or animal behind a smelly fireplace whether the smell shows up in summer heat or after rain.
Masonry Repair
