Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, 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 focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
