Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct 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 control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify 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 free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation 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.
