Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO 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 quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem 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, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
