Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate 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 unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, 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. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results check here through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
