Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand 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 confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess 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 to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance 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 Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct 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 appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
