Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
