Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before starting your first fire of the season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates comprehensive video check here inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to ensure appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers 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 optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with 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. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and clearances, 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 deliver airtight operation, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving 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 receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
