Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO 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
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
