Expert Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal

Protect your property by eliminating soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to clear all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and reliable draft for dependable operation.

In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, and Level II adds video scanning of flues and accessible areas. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.

When your liner shows signs of damage due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.

Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization

Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, high‑efficiency inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, ventilation capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.

Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues

Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.

We address restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. We provide precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing 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 recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
