Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect 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 clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
