Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify 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. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that here protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
