Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer airtight operation, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
