Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
