Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. This will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We run here ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get 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 quickly implement focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, liner continuity, and termination height.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
