Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute 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. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible here areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We assess firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from 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 resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
