Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted 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 locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient 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 reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, 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, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
