Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles 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 prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, 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 balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
