Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
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 perform ventilation testing to ensure 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 detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation click here and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust 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 correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
