Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm 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 comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
