Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. 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 from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then recommend high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
