Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Elimination
Safeguard your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA get more info system to control fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. 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 maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, 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, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors usually trace to improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We address blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
