Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate 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 from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
