Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete 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, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, 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 adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers here using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
