Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable more info operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, 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 assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
