Services
Sweeps
Report
Our standard sweep service for solid fuel systems involves power sweeping stage 1, and stage 2 creosote deposits from the chimney, venting components, and firebox. During our standard sweeping service, our chimney Technician will conduct a very basic evaluation (not a WETT Inspection) of the system component conditions that are readily accessible, and observed during sweeping.
Creosote
Report
Creosote is formed from the distillation of tarry, carbon compounds and pyrolysis of organic - plant based materials (firewood). Soot and tar are other common names for creosote and some other "interesting" names include; "creo-soot", creosol, creolsol, black chimney dust. There are many types and ways creosote is formed including as a by-product of burning wood.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Report
Lint accumulated in dryer vents is a common cause of household fires, and regularly servicing your dryer can help prevent this risk. Our Technicians conduct a thorough dryer vent cleaning service by cleaning the main dryer duct, connector and the dryer lint trap. We offer three dryer vent cleaning service packages, and custom dryer vent add on services which allows you to create a custom experience that will suite your specific needs and budget.
Dryer Safety
Report
Limit the venting length by installing your dryer in an area that will allow for a reduced total vent length. Clean lint out of the vent pipe at least annually, or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you. Annual inspections - Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.
Inspections
Report
During a chimney inspection Ryan conducts observations to the solid fuel burning system and evaluates based on code compliance. During the chimney inspection, the readily accessbile system components will be looked at for how they are installed as well as their condition.
We generally book up to 1.5 hrs on site and what is looked at (room with appliance, roof, attic, other) will depend on the system, ease of access, roof conditions, safety and time.If you would like more time, please let us know at the time of booking so that we can ensure there is enough time scheduled to accomodate the service(s) you desire.
