Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract 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 clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, more info and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, 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, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
