Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while 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 examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels 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
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
