Chimney Cleaning

Professional Chimney Cleaning Services

Though the black residue in the chimney from burning wood is called creosote, it is in fact mostly tar. There are three types of creosote that are found in chimneys and they are usually called ‘stages’ or ‘degrees.’ All three forms are combustible and should be removed. The most severe stage may require a Chemical Catalyst.

ProTech Chimney Restoration offers safe and professional cleanings to all of our customers. Not only is the care of your chimney important to us, but the care of your home is as well. To ensure that we are protecting your home from any damage, drop cloths will be used to protect all surface areas near the fireplace. Our technicians will then clean the entire system from the fireplace up, using professional brushes and equipment, along with the chimney. You can also include a level I or Level II written NFPA Inspection for an additional fee.

A Revolutionary, New Way to Completely Remove Glazed Creosote






Poultice Creosote Remover (PCR) is a revolutionary product designed to completely remove 3rd degree glazed creosote from flue tiles, smoke chambers and fireplaces. When PCR is applied, it dissolves the creosote and absorbs it. As it absorbs the creosote and dries, it loses its adhesive properties and falls off the sides of the flue tiles. Any remaining PCR can then be removed by chimney sweeping. PCR can be applied by brush in areas that are easily accessible or with a specially designed tool that can be pulled up through the chimney by a winch. To remove glazed creosote in smoke chambers, PCR can be applied with SaverSystems’ Smoke Chamber Sprayer. PCR should be used where glazed creosote is present in order to eliminate the dangers of chimney fires.

       

  • Completely removes 3rd degree glazed creosote
  • Eliminates the need for dangerous and potentially destructive cleaning methods

When your chimney is thoroughly cleaned, you may find that your flue liner has gaps, cracks, spalling or misaligned flue tiles. If that's the case, HeatShield Cerfractory Flue Sealant can restore your chimney, improve its performance, and eliminate hazards.
