Thorough mechanical soot removal, hazardous creosote treatment, and diagnostic video recording for safe seasonal combustion.
Standard Rotary Sweeping
Stage-3 Creosote Glaze Removal
Level-2 Video Flue Inspection
Smoke Chamber Parging
Mechanical nylon and wire whip rods scrub internal clay tile liners from hearth to cap, paired with dual-motor HEPA suction to contain 100% of airborne soot.
Targeted chemical neutralizers and high-torque mechanical scraping dissolve hardened, tar-like creosote deposits that regular steel brush passes cannot dislodge.
High-resolution articulating cameras travel the full flue height to document cracked terra cotta tiles, separated mortar joints, and internal drafting obstructions.
Corbelled brickwork in the smoke shelf receives a smooth refractory mortar coat to eliminate turbulent air roll and direct smoke efficiently up the flue.
Masonry repair and weatherproofing
Texas temperature swings and wind-driven rain erode exterior chimney stacks. We rebuild crowns, restore failed mortar joints, and seal masonry against water intrusion.
Chimney Crown Reconstruction
We pour reinforced 3-inch fiber-cement crowns with integrated drip edges to shed standing water past the brick perimeter, replacing cracked mortar washes.
Mortar Joint Tuckpointing
Deteriorated lime and sand mortar is raked out to a consistent 3/4-inch depth and repacked with high-bond masonry mix to secure leaning brick courses.
Flashing & Hydrophobic Seal
Interlocking aluminum step-flashing is counter-flashed into brick mortar joints, followed by breathable siloxane water-repellent wash across all exterior faces.
Spark Arrestor Cap Installation
Custom stainless steel multi-flue caps with 5/8-inch animal-proof mesh prevent ember escape while blocking raccoons, birds, and driving rain.
Mechanical safety systems
Component upgrades that protect indoor air quality, stop conditioned air loss, and clear residential exhaust blockages.
Top-Sealing Lock-Top Dampers
Firebox Refractory Rebuilding
Dryer Vent De-Linting
Silicone-gasketed dampers mount directly to the chimney top, replacing rusty throat plates to seal out downdrafts and pests when closed.
Cracked firebricks and eroded refractory mortar in the combustion chamber are replaced to prevent extreme heat transfer into combustible wall framing.
High-powered reverse-spinning air whips scour rigid and semi-rigid laundry exhaust lines to remove combustible lint chokes and restore flow.
Direct dispatch for Bedford homeowners. We confirm flue scope, containment protocol, and arrival windows.
