Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify 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 reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, 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.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack website effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
