Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your residence by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
As part of our evaluation, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to verify 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 receive 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 targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting get more info that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll improve operation, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted 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 install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
