Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear 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 confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations 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 targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective 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.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
We replace 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 automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address here restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
