Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, 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 examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive 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 swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, check here we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing 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 dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
