Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. This will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm the safety and code compliance of your heating system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, and Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose optimized inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney 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 stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
