Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform 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 get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells 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 restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
