Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide 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 damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine 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 to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then recommend optimized inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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 fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
