Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination

Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain 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. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify 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 clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.

As part of our evaluation, 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 adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, 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. 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 from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and read more includes warranty coverage.

Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization

Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then suggest energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.

Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues

Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. 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 receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.

For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
