Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
