Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then recommend high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, 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 stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
