Xavier Chimney Sweep Co In Providence, RI

Flue & Assessment

Seasonal Sweep

Standard and mechanical flue sweeping

Thorough removal of soot and particulate buildup using specialized rotary brushes matched to your flue liner dimensions, entirely sealed under HEPA vacuum containment.

Internal Scans

High-definition video borescope inspections

Detailed camera deployment into terra-cotta tile liners and metal chimneys to detect hidden hairline fractures, joint gaps, and structural water infiltration.

Creosote Removal

Stage-3 glazed creosote chemical treatment

Targeted chemical applications and mechanical scraping designed to break down hardened, highly flammable tar deposits that standard sweeping cannot eliminate.

Draft Testing

Comprehensive smoke backdraft diagnostics

Pressure and draft testing to identify negative air-pressure issues, sizing mismatches, and structural obstructions causing smoke to push back into living spaces.

Exterior Restoration

Structural masonry and cap protection

Historic mortar tuckpointing

Poured concrete crown restoration

Stainless steel spark arrestors

Careful matching of historic lime-mortar blends to repair weathered joints on Providence brick chimneys without compromising original structural integrity.

Rebuilding and sealing cracked or eroded concrete chimney crowns with waterproof overhangs to prevent freeze-thaw damage down the flue shaft.

Custom-fitted multi-flue caps and top-sealing dampers designed to keep out wildlife and heavy New England rain while improving thermal retention.

Video verification

Heavy-duty protective runners are rolled out across all interior walking paths from the entryway to the hearth before tools enter the home.

Dual-motor industrial HEPA filtration units are sealed directly to the fireplace opening to capture 99.97% of fine soot and ash particles instantly.

Certified tradesmen clear soot and creosote using specialized rotary rods and appropriately sized wire brushes tailored to your flue construction.

A final borescope inspection confirms complete clearance of the flue system, providing documented proof of safety before equipment is packed away.
