Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear 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. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
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 run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
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 evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation 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 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address 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. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
