Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, 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 optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose energy efficient inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
