Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Protect your home by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Before using your fireplace this season, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We perform ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion.

Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades

Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.

We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and necessary records for permits and warranties.

Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems

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 assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.

We fix obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize 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 manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
