Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate 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 free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to 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 restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
