Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Removal
Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin 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. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Before using your fireplace this season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, and Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we record liner integrity, clearances to combustibles, crown and cap condition and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to verify appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. 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 damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application for enhanced airflow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, lower environmental impact, and meet current read more WA codes. We evaluate hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose energy efficient inserts sized for your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, 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 smart fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to eliminate smoke spillage. We repair leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we implement void sealing and improve air circulation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
