Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning

Safeguard your home by clearing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, improve draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to control fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.

Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations

Before starting your first fire of the season, book a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II includes video scanning of flues and accessible areas. Level III is necessary for concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, 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, before applying code-approved repairs. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.

If your chimney liner is compromised from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit durable stainless or ceramic relining options custom-fitted to your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and stone sealing to prevent water and salt damage. Every repair is thoroughly documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.

Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades

Transform to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest energy efficient inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, install insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, configure temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and include safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.

Solving Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke

Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.

We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. We provide tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. 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 require dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
