Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. 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.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
