Complete Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
During your assessment, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts provide controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells usually trace to 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We resolve restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and specify proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. In locations with strong winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
