Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove 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. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient website inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate 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, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
