Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage 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, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, 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, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
