Summary

Most of us don’t realize how much buildup can collect inside a wood stove and chimney over a season. For this home in Elmira, a thorough annual service was needed to clear away creosote, ash, and debris, making sure everything ran safely and efficiently before the next round of cold weather.

The Work

Power-swept the flue to remove accumulated creosote and soot
Cleaned and inspected the interior of the wood stove and firebox
Performed low-pressure maintenance on the catalytic combustor to clear out ash and buildup without causing damage
Completed a detailed safety inspection and provided a full report with recommendations

The Outcome

After service, the chimney system was free of fire hazards and ready for use. The wood stove and flue were visibly cleaner, airflow improved, and the catalytic combustor was fully functional. Now, the home’s heating system is set for reliable and safe performance all season long.
