Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute 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 expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. 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 recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
