Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect 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 validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to verify 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 obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, 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 code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend optimized inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem 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 address 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 prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
