Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand 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. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, while Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of 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. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
