Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute 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. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule 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 basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and read more intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. 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 require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
