Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers 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 recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver airtight operation, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
