Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce check here chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers 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.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations 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 appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from 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 obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
