Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, read more and Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. 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, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
