Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out 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 free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, 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 reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney 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 eliminate smoke spillage. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
