Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin 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 require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines 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 proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO 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
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts sized for your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver airtight operation, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
