Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions website and clearances, and Level II adds 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 record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess 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 that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. 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 airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
