Todd Chimney Cleaning Inc

Todd Chimney Cleaning Inc understands that effective chimney cleaning involves more than removing visible soot from the fireplace opening. Proper maintenance may include cleaning accessible areas of the firebox, flue, smoke chamber, and other components where combustion residue can accumulate. Creosote is a particularly important concern for wood-burning fireplaces because this combustible material forms when smoke cools and condenses along chimney surfaces. Excessive creosote buildup can increase the danger of chimney fires, making regular inspections and professional cleaning essential preventive measures. Chimneys may also become obstructed by leaves, animal nesting materials, and other debris that interferes with ventilation. During maintenance, visible signs of damaged liners, deteriorating masonry, moisture intrusion, or other structural concerns may require additional professional assessment. Todd Chimney Cleaning Inc encourages homeowners to arrange appropriate cleaning and inspection services according to fireplace usage, fuel type, and professional recommendations.

Comprehensive hearth safety services

Creosote removal and rotary sweeps

Stage 1 through Stage 3 creosote deposits are mechanically extracted using poly and wire rotary whips. Hearth areas remain sealed under continuous negative HEPA vacuum pressure to guarantee zero soot migration.

Level 2 digital camera scans

A specialized 360-degree motorized camera travels the full length of your chimney flue. We record real-time video to identify cracked clay flue tiles, mortar joint separation, and hidden fire hazards before seasonal ignition.

Crown reconstruction and tuckpointing

Damaged concrete chimney crowns receive fiber-reinforced elastomeric seals or full poured-concrete replacement. Mortar joint tuckpointing prevents rain absorption into structural brickwork, stopping winter spalling before structural failure.

Stainless cap and damper installation

Custom-measured stainless steel chimney caps stop rain entry and prevent nesting squirrels, raccoons, and swifts. Top-sealing energy dampers replace broken throat dampers to eliminate winter drafts and cooling loss.

Draft testing and written report

Technicians lay clean drop-cloth runners across flooring and secure high-grade industrial containment film over the entire fireplace opening with triple-filtration HEPA vacuums engaged.

Calibrated rotary rods and specialized steel whips scrape every inch of the flue liner from rooftop or firebox, knocking down volatile creosote build-up into sealed collection bases.

Our high-resolution diagnostic camera passes through the flue tiles while technicians vacuum out the smoke shelf, damper housing, and firebox refractory panels.

We verify thermal draft flow using smoke pencil diagnostics and issue an itemized NFPA compliance safety report documenting chimney integrity for homeowner records.
