Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We check here correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
