Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. 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
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide 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 due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, here and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
