Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles 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, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess 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 maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install 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 enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, 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, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive website optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
