Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work 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 to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, 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 through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We assess firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing 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 typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
