Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination

Safeguard your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand 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 verify effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.

If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.

Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options

Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.

We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.

Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke

Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.

We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.

To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
