Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from 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 consistent draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and more info water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
