Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate 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. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get 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 quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
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 intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving 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 negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
