Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
