Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from 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. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes 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 document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO 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 swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, 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, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. 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 balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
