Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure 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 stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
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 that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
