Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes 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 includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and comply with WA codes. We examine firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
