Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct 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 confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
