Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Secure your property by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend optimized inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
