Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and read more adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
