Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU here output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set 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 address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
