Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, website and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, whereas Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, 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 focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
