Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from more info breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then propose optimized 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.
We install new worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
