Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, here smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
