Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We run ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine 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.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We install new worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells 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 resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and specify appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
