Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
