Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require 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. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate 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.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and check here spacing requirements, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
