Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect 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 control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and 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
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
