Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, 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.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems 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. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
