Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines 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 optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers 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 comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
