Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct 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 control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, while Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain 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 quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration 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 precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and meet current WA codes. We assess firebox condition, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose optimized inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result 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, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve 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 eliminate smoke spillage. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
