Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable 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. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need 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 validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. 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 airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air more info circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
