Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris read more safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO 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
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
