Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly here documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix 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 stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
