Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized 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. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify 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 reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then propose optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. 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 locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
