Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
