Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we record 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 appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive 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 quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine 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 that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest high-performance inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm read more placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
