Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform 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 unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify 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 incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result 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 address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive 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.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
