Containment Protocols
Technicians lay interlocking runners from the entryway to the firebox before unlatching tools. Sealed negative-pressure HEPA vacuums run continuously during mechanical sweeping to capture microscopic creosote particulate at the source.
Every visit concludes with a full visual verification across hearth surfaces. We leave living rooms pristine, returning air quality and masonry condition to certified operational standards.
Regional Hazards
Coastal Salt and Creosote
Tiburon's marine fog accelerates mortar joint spalling and corrodes steel chase covers rapidly. Unsealed crowns allow moisture penetration into the flue assembly, causing hidden brick delamination and damp-induced draft blockages before winter storms arrive.
Slow-burning fir and unseasoned oak create glazed stage-three creosote along cold coastal flues. This combustible tar requires specialized mechanical rotary chains rather than basic wire brushes to remove safely without cracking aging clay liners.
