Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. 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 obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. 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. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address 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. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
