Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure 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 get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then here implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
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 eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
