Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize 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 remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify 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 free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
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 evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
