Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, and Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates 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 termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address 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 address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
