Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates 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 examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get 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 swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend 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, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. 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 manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
