Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper 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 incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
