Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage 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 unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. 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 obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We assess firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add 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, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set 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 prevent back-puffing. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
