Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide 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 custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, 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. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
