Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean 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 verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements 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 specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper 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 add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
