Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. 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 proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
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 assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
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 fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
