Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, while Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we record the condition here of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, our team implements stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then suggest high-performance inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide sealed combustion, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from 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 address restrictions, remove creosote, and set proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We correct ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
