Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and clearances, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, 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. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
