Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Protect your property by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove 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. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for safe operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

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

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We examine deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. 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 from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.

Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization

Transition to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend optimized inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems provide airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.

Resolving Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues

After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant 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, liner continuity, and termination 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 eliminate smoke spillage. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.

To control unwanted smells, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
