Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm 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 get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. 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 protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend optimized inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
