Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. 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, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
