Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage 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 ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine 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.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose high-performance inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
