Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, 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.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes 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 optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, 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 assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and website optimize 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 prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
