Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
