Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your home by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, more info includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
