Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute 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 control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows 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 comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we examine liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
