Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft 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 intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
