Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain 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 ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm 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 get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, 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 airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
