Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect 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. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive 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 from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade check here to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells 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, 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 precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address 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. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
