Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear 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 validate effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines standard safety requirements, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
