Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute 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 manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes 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.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, 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 incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
