Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect 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 clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, 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 implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, website EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork 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 commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
