Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted 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 detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon website monoxide pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images 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 targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, 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.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize 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 address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
