Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain 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 clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, 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 diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
