Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. 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
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing 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 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 address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
