Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify 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. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
