Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude 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, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options 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 restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result 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 restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
