Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
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 deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and clearances, then suggest optimized inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. 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.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
