Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, while 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 liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
