Hearth containment

Digital flue scan

Creosote scrubbing

Airflow verification

Heavy drop cloths and industrial negative-pressure HEPA filtration systems isolate the firebox before mechanical sweeping begins.

High-resolution rotating cameras survey every flue tile joint from smoke chamber to crown, identifying concealed thermal fractures.

Specialized rotary whip systems remove combustible stage-two and stage-three glazed creosote deposits without abrasive masonry damage.

Differential pressure tests confirm positive draft draw, preventing carbon monoxide backdrafting and smoke rollback during operation.

Scope of work

Engineered chimney repairs

Flue integrity

Internal video diagnostics

Standard sweeps miss hairline flue fissures that ignite framing timbers. Our motorized 360-degree optical cameras capture high-definition internal footage, documenting hidden tile spalling, mortar degradation, and hazardous flue liner gaps.

Weatherproofing

Structural masonry tuckpointing

Harsh Texas freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate saturated mortar joints, allowing water penetration behind the brick facade. We rake out deteriorated joints and pack weather-resistant mortar matched to your chimney's structural composition.

Draft control

Stainless caps and top dampers

Custom-fabricated stainless steel caps prevent rain ingress, downdrafts, and wildlife nesting. Energy-efficient top-sealing dampers create an airtight perimeter seal at the chimney summit, ending conditioned air loss when unlit.

Cleanroom standard

Zero airborne soot inside your home

Industrial HEPA vacuums maintain active containment throughout every sweep. Your hearth, rugs, and interior furniture remain completely untouched by soot and particulate dust.
