Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing here to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, 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 add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing 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 usually trace to 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
