Complete Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Protect your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas 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 document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, 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.

If your chimney liner is compromised through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we professionally install high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.

Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades

Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine fireplace condition, chimney capacity, and spacing requirements, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide controlled burning, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.

Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and paperwork for permits and warranties.

Fixing Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns

Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors 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, 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. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.

To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we install wind-baffling caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
