Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove 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. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule get more info a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II incorporates 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 record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, 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, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then recommend energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
