Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to website safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate 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. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage 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, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend high-performance inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
