Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend optimized inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing 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 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 balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct 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 dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
