Expert Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination

Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm 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 consistent draft for reliable operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, and Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we document liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and protective stone sealing to block moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, 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 intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend optimized inserts sized for 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 high-performance sealing mechanisms, add insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth here protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.

Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems

After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors typically stem from 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 fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.

For odor control, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
