Services
Chimney Inspections
Our certified technicians perform Level 1-3 chimney inspections using video equipment and infrared diagnostics. Annual assessments identify fire hazards, carbon monoxide risks, and structural issues. We follow CSIA and NFPA standards to ensure compliance and safety for wood, gas, and electric fireplaces.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Professional dryer vent cleaning prevents fire hazards and improves appliance efficiency. Our CSIA/CDET-certified team removes lint buildup, inspects roof terminations, and uses live imaging to verify system integrity. Recommended annually or bi-annually for pet-owning households.
Water Intrusion Assessment
Infrared camera technology identifies hidden water damage sources in chimneys. We diagnose leaks misattributed to roofing issues and repair structural damage caused by microbial growth or wood rot. Emergency services address urgent moisture intrusion scenarios.
Attic Ladder Installation
We install durable aluminum attic ladders for improved access and safety. Services include scuttle hole conversions, storage optimization, and replacement of unstable wooden ladders. Our licensed contractors ensure code-compliant installations for residential properties.
Gas Leak Detection
Certified Category V Gas License holders perform propane and natural gas system inspections. Emergency leak detection services use specialized equipment to identify and repair hazardous gas line issues while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Questions
What are the different chimney inspection levels?
Level 1 checks accessible areas annually. Level 2 uses video equipment after property transfers or system changes. Level 3 involves invasive diagnostics for hidden hazards.
How often should chimneys be swept?
Annual sweeping is recommended, or after each cord of wood burned. Florida's climate often requires more frequent maintenance due to poor drafting conditions.
Why clean dryer vents?
Regular cleaning prevents fires, extends appliance life, and improves energy efficiency by removing lint buildup that causes overheating and blockages.
