Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, 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 record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines 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 enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners 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 using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
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 smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address 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 address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests read more and CO monitoring for safety.
