Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines 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 termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, 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, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
