Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct 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 contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve read more safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, 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. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant 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 obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
