Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect 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 free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
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 comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. 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 get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
