Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear 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 confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
