Flue & Masonry Scope
Mechanical rotary sweeping
High-torque rotary brush rods strip combustible glazed creosote and soot down to bare flue tile. Industrial HEPA negative-air filtration seals your hearth opening to keep living rooms completely clean.
High-resolution video scans
Our internal optical camera traverses the entire flue length to document cracked terracotta tiles, failed mortar joints, and hidden structural breaches. Every inspection includes an itemized written safety compliance certificate.
Precision flue relining
Damaged or undersized flues receive continuous 316Ti stainless steel liners wrapped in thermal ceramic blanket insulation. This eliminates draft failures and safely vents modern woodstoves or gas heating appliances.
Crown rebuilds & tuckpointing
Harsh Massachusetts freeze-thaw cycles break down porous crowns and mortar. We cast reinforced concrete crowns with drip edges, repair spalling brickwork, and fit stainless spark arrestors to block rain entry.
Methodical Trade Standards
Four-step safety protocol
Negative-air containment
Rotary mechanical sweep
Optical camera survey
Signed NFPA documentation
Full-length 360-degree color video probes verify tile seam integrity, clearance to combustibles, and draft passage clearance across every vertical foot.
Industrial triple-filter vacuum systems run continuous containment while neoprene hearth shields protect hardwood floors and mantels from loose carbon particles.
Calibrated nylon or steel whips scour internal flue walls, removing hazardous stage three glazed creosote deposits from the smoke chamber down to the throat damper.
You receive a signed written condition report detailing clearances, operational draft metrics, and clear maintenance intervals for insurance or municipal compliance.
