Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, and Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
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 evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, lower website environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, 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, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
