Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You website get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper 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 include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
