Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain 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 swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate 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, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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 restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
