Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable 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. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from 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 stable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. 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, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
