Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
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. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper 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 combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
