Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Secure your home by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
