Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, and Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
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 evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
