Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard 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 control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety 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 heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, 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 incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
