Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure 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 reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and website recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We examine firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend optimized inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
