Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. 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 due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as here required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
