Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
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 examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then propose optimized inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
