Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control 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 unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are read more suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set 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 prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
