Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control 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 confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure read more testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust 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 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 proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
