Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm 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 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 confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. 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 correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. 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 high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks 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. 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation 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.
